Chrysocolla

CHRYSACOLLA. A very beautiful Blue Copper Oxide/Silica mineral that is usually mixed with Malachite and sometimes Azurite or occasionally Plancheite and Dioptase. We get several different types coming through Toprock from different locations at different times. We generally get Congo botryoidal crystalline specimens in from 3 or 4 different Copper Mines every 3-8 weeks and also cutting material from Namibia from 2 different locations sporadically from small mining operations. The Namibian material is silica based and makes fantastic cutting material. (nick@toprocks.com)
