Finest-Grade Chrysocolla Stones
Striking chrysocolla stones, carefully chosen for our collection of rocks and minerals.
These stones show exceptional colour, combining shades of turquoise with distinctive bands of malachite.
Chrysocolla, which often occurs in and around copper mines, is often found close to deposits of malachite.
It's a very soft stone, so it must be handled carefully.
These lightly polished chrysocolla stones are from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Although chrysocolla is widely used for its healing properties, some material is not ideal because, being so soft, it can become damaged if handled too often.
The chrysocolla stone in the centre is more fragile than the stones on either side. All three have a wonderfully silky-smooth texture.
The stones are numbered 1 to 3, left to right. Stone 1 is no longer available.
