Shattuckite in chrysocolla cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of blended shattuckite & chrysocolla from the Congo. 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 CERULEAN blue, with a scattering of jet black confetti-like patches. Those seemingly dark areas are actually a dark shiny metallic that's silvery in color; possibly hematite, if I had to hazard a guess. 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 can create. The stone has a high rounded dome of 5mm, and a crisp designer shape, polished both front and back.
Size: 63x19mm
Weight: approximately 61 carats
