Description
~ Shattuckite in chrysocolla cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of awesome, top quality shattuckite, chrysocolla and azurite from the Congo. This vibrant blue material is mighty hard to beat when it comes to eye catching, and I have to say the photos fall short of illustrating the vivid hue. The colors just don't translate very well digitally, but in hand, you'll see a strong electric CERULEAN blue, with a scattering of jet black patches that give it an attractive crinkly look. Those seemingly dark areas are actually a dark shiny metallic that's silvery in color; possibly hematite, if I had to hazard a guess, and some of them almost resemble plumes. This highly silicated material is quite durable; it's naturally hard enough to take an excellent polish, so it will wear well in any type of jewelry you can create. The stone has a high rounded dome of 7mm, and a gracefully curved designer shape, polished both front and back.

Size: 55x15mm
Weight: approximately 65 carats
