Collection: Peruvian Chrysocolla

As the name suggests, Peruvian Chrysocolla is primarily sourced from Peru. The mineral is often found in the copper mines of this region, where its vibrant color comes from its association with copper deposits. Chrysocolla is commonly used in jewelry and decorative items. Due to its variable hardness, it's often best suited for pieces that are not subjected to heavy wear, like pendants, earrings, or decorative cabochons. It can also be used in lapidary work, though care must be taken due to its potential softness. On the Mohs scale of hardness, Chrysocolla typically ranges from 2.5 to 7.
