The third one down has native silver in it. I posted a cab cut from it on the forum a long time ago. Below is a cab from this material. It took such a deep shine you can see me waving in the cab.

I really have not gave any thought about selling any. I posted it to show the new member that there is good chrysocolla that does not fall apart or need stabilizing.

I have not seen any of the chrysocolla with silver since I purchaced it years ago. I may let go of a bit of it. I made a note to take some pictures of rough when I get a chance. It will be a bit pricey.

Seth, pricey would be OK; I'd even be willing to throw a dog in that fight if the rough is as nice as what that cab came from  Grin

OK here is my chance to contribute a little more.
The following is what I love to work on.
Seth I really like that chrysocolla with the silver. I am always after that. I have never seen a piece so full of silver.
I just finished cutting some shattuckite last weekend included are some pics of those cuts and also some chrysocolla with a little silver.
