PRODUCT INFORMATION


General Description

Chrysocolla has a cyan (blue-green) colour and is a minor ore of Copper. The material has a wide range of hardness between 2.5 to 7.0. It is of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies. It is typically found as botryoidal or rounded masses and crusts, or vein fillings.

Whilst, Shattuckite, a stunning copper silicate hydroxide mineral boasting a breathtaking display of vivid blues complemented by a tapestry of associated copper minerals. Nestled within this exceptional material are vibrant hues of chrysocolla, plancheite, and occasionally duftite, cuprite, chalcocite, native copper, azurite, and dioptase. Each piece, meticulously cobbed into smaller specimens, is presented either as striking specimens or as rough material ideal for cutting and crafting. Shattuckite, scientifically known as Cu5(SiO3)4(OH)2, embodies the essence of its mineral composition, crystallizing within the orthorhombic–bipyramidal crystal system. Typically found in a granular massive form, it also manifests as fibrous acicular crystals, closely resembling the structure and appearance of plancheite.
