Chrysocolla is known to form in oxidation
zones of copper ore bodies and is a considered a minor ore for the mineral
copper. Pure chrysocolla gemstones are rare. Chrysocolla often forms with other
copper-bearing minerals, which results in gemstones with interesting and unique
mixes of colors and mottled patterns. Some of the more common mineral mixtures
include azurite (which chrysocolla often pseudomorphs with), malachite and
turquoise. Chrysocolla may also form with clear druzy layers of glossy quartz,
essentially forming a natural doublet. In many cases, quartz crystal may
actually be intergrown with the stone and not just as druzy layers. These
quartz-hybrid mixtures are harder and much more durable than pure chrysocolla,
often rendering them suitable enough for jewelry use.
