More information about Chrysocolla in Quartz

Chrysocolla itself is not well suited as a gemstone as it is often brittle and has a hardness of only 2 to 4 on the Mohs scale. However, when combined with quartz or chalcedony, the resulting rock can be hard enough and durable enough for use as a gemstone.

Chrysocolla in Quartz can be a beautiful material. Polished specimens frequently display colorful patterns of blue-green veins, swirls and bands of chrysocolla through transparent to milky quartz.

Chrysocolla in Quartz is often cut into beads and cabochons or used to make tumbled gemstones. In jewelry it is popular as beads, earrings, pendants, pins and bolo ties. It is less suited for use as a ringstone where it might be subject to impact and abrasion. Less often it is made in to small sculptures and carvings.

In the United States Chrysocolla is often found near the copper-producing areas of Arizona and Nevada. Other world sources include: Zaire, Russia, Chile and Mexico.
