This chrysocolla pendant sits in an open, teardrop-shaped sterling silver frame, with the oval cabochon held in a bezel at the base of the design. The stone itself is a vivid mix of blue and green, with natural banding running through it in deeper teal and earthy tones — every piece of chrysocolla carries its own version of this pattern, shaped by the minerals it formed alongside. The open frame keeps the pendant from feeling heavy despite its size, and it hangs from a sterling silver chain. A bold, one-of-a-kind piece for anyone who wants colour with real mineral character.

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.

Common Questions

What causes chrysocolla's blue-green colour?
Chrysocolla gets its colour from trace copper within the stone's structure. It forms in the weathered, oxidised zones of copper deposits, often alongside quartz or chalcedony, which is why you'll often see natural banding or mottling running through a single piece, where different mineral-rich layers grew together.
Is the chain sterling silver?
Yes — the pendant setting and the chain are both sterling silver.
Is this a natural chrysocolla?
Yes — a genuine, natural chrysocolla cabochon, cut and polished, sourced from Brazil. Not synthetic, not dyed howlite or another substitute sometimes sold as chrysocolla.
Certification, shipping, returns?
Every piece is backed by Joseph's personal guarantee, ships fully insured within Australia, and can be returned within 14 days. See Buying an Opal for the full breakdown.
