SCIENCE 

Chrysocolla and Malachite are both secondary minor copper ores, forming in veins and cavities. Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper silicate and is associated often with chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz with minor water content). Malachite is a copper carbonate and can form in fibrous, crystalline and banded masses.

Often found together, as the environment changes so too can the mineral deposits shift between Green malachite and blue chrysocolla. 

Copper is what causes the colour of both of these minerals.

Malachite hardness: MOHs 3.5-4
Chrysocolla hardness: MOHs 2.5-3.5

 

CRYSTAL CARE

Although crystals have survived hundreds of thousands to millions of years (wow) in our earth they are still delicate and must be treated with TLC. 

Chrysocolla Malachite has a relatively low hardness so be careful not to keep it inside a bag with other harder/sharp crystals. Keep away from water and environments with steam. Do not place in a bath or water bottle as it may be toxic.

OUR ETHICS

Yes, our crystals are ethically sourced & sold.

Read more:
Ethical mining/sourcing refers to the conditions in which a crystal is unearthed and the people and/or businesses that do it. Whilst a mineral may be sourced ethically from the earth, many stones are sent to factories in other countries for cutting and polishing into spheres and generators. 

The label of ethics also applies to the selling and consumer purchasing. 

Crystals must be correctly identified, certified as natural with any treatments disclosed. Too often crystals are lab grown or treated in a lab and sold as natural. This is incredibly important to us (and our in-house gemmologist) so each piece is tested and certified and accompanied by and authenticity card.

We pride ourselves on our crystal ethics, from earth to home.
