Chrysocolla is not a very well known gemstone but it is becoming increasingly popular with jewelry designers looking for something interesting and new. It is also an ideal gemstone for people keen on making their own jewelry either as a hobby or for business.
Chrysocolla is thought of as blue or green gemstone but its physical make up can include quartz, chalcedony, malachite, azurite and even opal on occasion which can create a whole rainbow of other colors as well as intriguing patches and patterns.
The green or blue color is caused by the presence of copper in the mineral composition of the gemstone when forming.

Pure Chrysocolla is a copper silicate which began life as a sort of gel which hardened over time. It is very rarely totally pure and combines with other minerals such as turquoise, quartz, malachite and others which not only creates interesting patterns and colors but also makes it durable enough to be used as a gemstone.
Chrysocolla is a very affordable gemstone and its appeal can be a matter of personal preference as far as color and patterns are concerned.
Generally any gemstone with a bright blue color and decent coverage will be the highest valued of all Chrysocolla although an equally even colored green gemstone could be just about as valuable.
Large sizes are readily available so the price per carat will not rise exponentially as they get bigger. Most Chrysocolla will be in the $1 - $5 per carat bracket.
Chrysocolla is not usually treated in any way although we have heard of some all blue or all green gemstones being strengthened by the application of epoxy. We do not stock these types of Chrysocolla.
Chrysocolla is most famously and historically found in Southern Israel but can also be found in Australia, Russia, the USA and Mexico in North America and Chile and Peru in South America.
Chrysocolla is rated at 2 - 4 on Mohs hardness scale which would make it very soft for use in jewelry but the inclusion of quartz and chalcedony in its physical make-up usually strengthens this gemstone considerably. Large pendants would be totally fine as would earrings and necklaces but we would suggest protective settings for rings.

I was just talking to the person that does beading yesterday and she was telling me about black opal beads and I opened your site and there they were.How wonderful.She will make the necklace for me.

Good: Your reputation of selling quality trusted gems is what encouraged me to buy from you in the first place. Without it, I would not have bought anything. I intend to test everything with a gem tester, but also will get privately appraised.Bad: My only gripe is the labs you use aren't the best. They're not very well known, and not readily accepted by the buying market in my opinion. Pending my gemologist appraisals, we'll see how well your assessment aligns with trusted IGS accredited appraisals.

Lo que me molesta un poco es que el envio rapido se cobra como tal de 2-3 dias, por lo que lo podrian hacer un poco mas economico y que sea un solo envio no dos opciones de envio, al comprar cierta cantidad de gemas o una cantidad de dinero podria ser gratis, es mi opinion, pero me encanto el sitio, mucha variedad y a buen precio perfecta para joyeria personal o regalos...

Gem Selects is a great place to buy loose gems and seems to have a wide selection of sizes, shapes, and color as well as reasonable prices. Though I only dabble in making earrings this is my purchase from here and I love the pieces I have bought - 6 pairs of various gems. I am sure I'll be back.

I love looking at gems. Your site is very easy to navigate and to find what I'm looking for. It is also very easy to explore lesser-known gems that are not always easily found. I spend way too much time exploring! LOL
