Chrysocolla is found near copper deposits and its attractive blue-green color is related to the color of Turquoise, which is also found where copper is mined. The copper is responsible for the blues in both minerals and Chrysocolla is often mistaken for Turquoise though they are distinctly different. Chrysocolla is typically found as crusts, or vein fillings and can form rounded crystals with concentric layers. It can often be hard enough to cut for jewelry use and its brilliant swirling blue-green colors make jewelry with and exotic character. |
