Chrysocolla | Rough

Chrysocolla is a copper silicate mineral (Cu₂H₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄) known for its vibrant blue-green color. It typically forms in the oxidation zones of copper deposits and is often found in association with minerals like malachite, azurite, and turquoise. Chrysocolla has a Mohs hardness of 2 to 4, making it relatively soft and fragile. It is often used as a gemstone or ornamental stone but is sometimes stabilized for durability. Major sources include the United States (Arizona, New Mexico), Peru, Chile, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Israel.
