Chrysocolla Matrix

Chrysocolla is a secondary mineral that forms from the weathering of copper ores (rich in ore minerals like chalcopyrite, bornite, and cuprite) in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. It is popular for its attractive blue-green color, which is caused by the presence of copper. It has a low hardness and mostly forms coatings or an amorphous mass. It is easy to work with and is very popular for creating various decorative items. The matrix rock is composed of quartz veins, limonite, and various ore minerals. Due to the high presence of copper and iron impurities, the matrix rock is usually brown. Among the most famous localities for chrysocolla is undoubtedly Peru, which is also the origin of our material. Other countries include the Congo, the USA, and Mexico.
