Wow, that is a lot of really nice chrysocolla, and some gorgeous cabs. Here's a bit of something I haven't seen posted... Drusy chrysocolla (with a sprinkling of malachite).   |

I think this stone is a little above my experience level... I am actually afraid to try to cab it, even though it looks like it should cut nicely. I have very little experience with cabbing so far. I will probably keep a few of the more aesthetic pieces for my mineral collection, and maybe will hang on to a few for down the road when I am more comfortable with my lapidary abilities. The rest I will probably just sell as rough for cabs. Here is one of the pieces I plan to hang on to. I love the way the matrix on this piece broke along cubiform cleavage planes... very cool!  |

Here are a few pictures of some strange silica chrysocolla with cuprite floating in it. The blue green areas are translucent.   |
