Characteristics of Chrysocolla
Chrysocolla, Turquoise, Malachite, Azurite, these stones, at first glance, are very similar to each other.
Minerals consisting of copper silicate are called Chrysocolla. The mineral is not transparent; the amount of copper determines the intensity of its color. It can vary from the color of the spring sky (light blue) to the color of the depths of the sea (dark blue with a green tint). Quite often there are stones with a brownish tint, which is introduced by manganese inclusions.
The mechanical properties of the mineral (it crumbles during polishing and cutting), as well as the fact that it decomposes even in weak acid solutions, do not allow its use in the jewelry industry.
The structure of the mineral, despite the fact that it has been known since biblical times, is still not completely clear. The water content in stone is not constant. Under natural conditions, it often grows together with Malachite, Turquoise, and Azurite.
The linguistic roots of the name lie in two words: “Chrysos” – gold, “Kolla” – glue. In the legends about the mines of King Solomon, Chrysocolla is also mentioned among the precious stones.
