Chrysocolla is famous for its rich teal-blue color, making it a popular choice for lapidary work. Chrysocolla from the Baghdad Copper Mine in Arizona is particularly known for its intricate layering, the many shades of blue and green caused by varying levels of oxidation of the Copper element within the Chrysocolla. This specimen is also dotted with accents of the Limonite matrix. Overall, this highly detailed specimen is a great display piece, that will catch anyone's eye and invite them to explore all of the banding and coloration.
