Description

Gem Silica is silicate Chrysocolla, a combination of Chrysocolla and Quartz with a hardness of 6 to 7. It is a rare material which is found in small pockets of copper-bearing ores, usually in association with more common forms of Chrysocolla. Its color can vary from blue-green to deep turquoise blue. Often there is at least a partial translucence to the stones. Some are coated with sparkling druzy crystals. Gem Silica is highly prized, especially is Asia, for gemstones and carvings. It is among the most-desired and least acquired of metaphysical stones, because of both its cost and its rarity.
