Apache Chrysocolla designer gem 2/16/18 01 - 47 x 31 x 3.3 mm - 35 carats
This large yet lightweight gem is cut from one of the most beautiful and
rare stone I know of. I consider Apache Chrysocolla as the holy grail of
chrysocolla. It is said to come from an old worked out copper mine in
Mexico and there is nothing I know of that is quite like it. This
stunning, very rare stone is made up of many different minerals
including Chrysocolla, Malachite, Shattuckite, Turquoise, Calcite,
Cuperite, Hematite, Quartz, Linarite, Silver and even Gold. Many years
ago it made the cover of Rock and Gem magazine. These days there is very
little of this on the market and the price has skyrocketed. This is old,
high grade material. The color and patterns are excellent. This
wonderfully colored stone has some very nice colors, metallics and
patterns - a stunning and exotic piece - with a very low dome, girdled
sides and a flat beveled back all with a glossy and metallic luster.
