Sorry if photos are too blurry.
I thought this was Chrysocolla, but am wondering if it might be Turquoise.
I received it in a bunch of slabs with no ID.
It is not stabilized, as it absorbs water.
Fairly soft.
Photos were taken dry, wet and damp.
Thank you.
It reminds me of the stones in the cuff in this thread.Turquoise? Any info appreciated, stone, hallmark, etc
I think it is an answer revealed when it is turned into a cab. Difficult to tell from the image, they can look very similar.
Chrysocolla definitely can have a Bisbee look. I think of your stone as turquoise, maybe not Bisbee.
Doesn’t look like Chrysocolla as its to blue and no green. I collect other rocks. Actually i think i have a piece of Chrysocolla. I will look for it.
This is informative on the range of coloration–it’s very broad within the blues and greens:

As if it’s not confusing enough LOL
Part of a large, rough piece of chrysocolla I have.
The color varies from greenish to robin’s egg blue.
Now thats what im talking about! Gorgeous! I wish my rocks werent packed away.
