Apache chrysocolla cab ~
Offered here is a remarkable cab of Apache chrysocolla, from Arizona's Definance mine. I brought this home in the rough from the Quartzite shows several years ago, but left it stashed away; when that first slice came out of the saw, I was sorry to have waited so long to cut it! WOW, huh? This striking stone has vivid turquoise blues and greens (a bit darker but more intense than the photos show), with flecks and patches of bright red cuprite in an almost brecciated pattern. All 100% natural, naturally hard and durable, NOT dyed or treated in any way. In my own jewelry, such bright and colorful chrysocollas just about fly out the door, so I encourage you to try some yourself. Surely you can find the perfect way to feature this attractive stone in your own creations. The cab has a well rounded dome of 5.5mm, a boldly curved designer shape, nicely polished both front and back.
