Morenci chrysocolla cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of top quality chrysocolla, from Morenci, Arizona. This vibrant cerulean blue material is certainly not plentiful these days, and it's mighty hard to beat when it comes to eye catching. The colors don't translate very well, digitally, so these photos don't do them much justice. In hand, you'll see strong electric turquoise blues, with a scattering of green mossy malachite in some areas, as well as tiny flecks of reddish brown cuprite. Some of the quartz is stained blue-gray from the presence of chrysocolla, and there are bright streaks of blue running through it. Highly silicated material like this is quite durable; it's certainly hard enough, naturally, to take a terrific polish, and will wear well in any type of jewelry you can dream up. The stone has a very high rounded dome of over 7mm, a sleek designer shape, and it's polished both front and back.
Size: 40x16mm
