Shattuckite in chrysocolla cab ~
Offered here is a large cabochon of rare blended shattuckite and chrysocolla, from the Congo. I'm told it probably also contains conichalcite, plancheite, and cerussite. This vibrant blue material is mighty hard to beat when it comes to eye catching, and I have to say the photos fall short of illustrating the vivid hue. The colors just don't translate very well digitally, but in hand, you'll see a strong electric blue, with a scattering of rich chocolatey brown patches. This highly silicated material is quite durable; it's naturally hard enough to take an excellent polish, so it will wear well in any type of jewelry you wish to create. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, and a versatile designer shape, polished both front and back.
Size: 46x28mm
Weight: approximately 46 carats
