Gem silica, chrysocolla!

Written on December 19, 2010 by Ev in Loose Colored Gemstones

This is a fine, translucent chalcedony colored by the mineral chrysocolla. It has come to be known by the name, gem silica. It was mined in Arizona sometime during the middle of the last century. It’s gorgeous and rare.

      Hi,
      These actually belonged to one of our customers. She bought them in the’80′s and didn’t know where in Arizona they were from. Could well be Ray mine, but I’m not certain. Thanks for looking!
