Gem Silica

Gem Silica is the gem form of Chrysocolla. There are very few mines of Chrysocolla in the world, so finding Gem Silica in these mines is a rarity. In some places in the world Gem Silica is called Druzy Chrysocolla.

This is a crystallized formation. The stone is harder than Chrysocolla so more durable in making a piece of jewelry. The blue is magnificent. Sometimes it has the appearance of a turquoise color. Blue mixed with green.

These mines have been located in New Mexico and South America.
