I have textured and worked the silver of this striking chrysocolla pendant, curling in both the top and bottom for a scroll effect. Chrysocolla is hydrated copper silicate, and has a hardness of 3.5 to 4.5. It comes in a variety of blue-green colors, though this one has a bit of red inside. To work with, this is a fragile stone, it requires mindfulness. This is a co-designed pendant.
