Chrysocolla

Country of Origin
Israel

Chrysocolla, the king of carbonate copper gemstones, is an alluring, vivid blue-green color and is often mistaken for turquoise because they share many visual similarities. It can often be found intermingled with malachite, turquoise and azurite, creating a wonderful mixed gemstone known as Eilat stone (named after the city where it was once mined). The rich, vibrant blue and green colors of chrysocolla are reminiscent of looking down upon the earth's surface from space.
