I bought a bunch of chrysocolla from Rock Hobbit a fewweeks ago. Well some of it is blue. I worked one tiny piece on the genie tonight. I would need to stabilize it if i really wanted to do anything with it. It is super soft but still shines.

Most all of the chrysocolla I've seen is more green than blue, it gets mistaken forturquoise. There are a few pieces in this batch that are this very blue color.

Yeah your right cause I have some that could be mistaken for turquoise but a bit too green/blue. I also have some that is very hard in quartz. Also have some that has a but more of the malachite green in it. Its fun to work
