Chrysocolla Ring – Sterling Silver, 25×18mm, Green-Blue

This chrysocolla ring sets an oval cabochon of green-blue stone into a plain sterling silver bezel, on a wide, polished silver band. The stone's colour runs from teal through to a deeper blue, with fine veining visible across its surface — a natural pattern unique to this piece. It sits high off the finger, giving the stone room to catch the light, and the wide band gives the ring a solid, grounded feel on the hand. A bold, one-of-a-kind ring for someone who wants genuine chrysocolla colour rather than a faceted stone.

About Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is a copper-bearing silicate mineral, and it's that trace copper that gives the stone its striking blue-to-green colour — ranging from soft turquoise through to a deep, saturated teal. It typically forms in the oxidised zones of copper deposits, often intergrown with quartz or chalcedony, which is what gives a cut stone its glassy lustre and the natural banding or mottled patterning visible across its surface. Every piece carries its own unique mix of blue and green, shaped by the exact minerals it grew alongside.

Caring for Your Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is a soft, porous stone that is sensitive to water, moisture and household chemicals — prolonged exposure can dull its colour or affect its surface over time. Keep it dry, remove it before showering, swimming or cleaning, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners entirely, and store it separately from harder stones.
