What is the general market price of chrysocolla?
Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper silicate mineral, also known as phoenix stone. This mineral, formed by the decomposition of copper ore, is found in many copper mining areas. It comes about because copper ore meets water containing silicon dioxide and undergoes a chemical change. It has a beautiful green (or light green-blue) color, and people use this characteristic to make it into decorative materials. Let's take a look below at how much chrysocolla costs!

The distribution of chrysocolla's places of origin
In China, it is mainly produced in the gold-copper deposit at Jinguashi in Taiwan, China, as a secondary copper-bearing mineral. It is mainly found in the oxidized zone of copper-bearing deposits, often coexisting with malachite, azurite, cuprite and native copper. In addition, it often appears together with chalcedony, and is an important inclusion in some blue or green chalcedony. Some scholars believe that the blue chalcedony produced in eastern Taiwan, China (commonly known as Taiwan blue gem), owes its color to the inclusion of chrysocolla.
