Chrysocolla, a rich blue-green stone that can look similar to turquoise, and is typically found near copper deposits, much like turquoise, as they both owe their coloring to the pr esence of the copper. Chrysocolla was first described by Theosphrastus, a Greek philosopher and botanist who also named the stone, in 315 BCE, so it's fair to say that it has been around and in use in jewelry for a very long time. Mined in the USA. Stabilized. 7mm x 7mm By the each. Show more
