Chrysocolla

Country of Origin
Israel, Peru, Africa and USA

Chrysocolla, the king of carbonate copper gemstones, is a captivating vivid blue-green color often with natural patterns resembling ocean waves or earth tones. It is often mistaken for the turquoise stone 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). It is typically found in copper-rich regions such as Peru, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the southwestern United States.
