Collectible minerals - full range in stock "Chrysocolla"

Chrysocolla is a copper mineral that gives it a bluish-green color. Chrysocolla has been known to mankind since ancient times. The mention of chrysocolla is found in the writings of Theofast, dating back to the 4th century BC. Chrysocolla is also called the Eilat stone in honor of the mines of King Solomon near the Gulf of Eilat. But in the Eilat stone, chrysocolla is just veins in the sandstone. Chrysocolla has been a popular gemstone from prehistoric times to the present day.
