Where is Chrysocolla found?

Chrysocolla is a silicate mineral that’s formed as a by-product of copper minerals. Hence this crystal can be found in large copper deposits in various parts of the world like Mexico, the United States and Africa, especially DR Congo.  It is a very soft stone and can flake easily in certain formations.  You will often find chrysocolla mixed with other minerals and crystals like quartz, calcite, and malachite.

Chrysocolla was named after the Greek words “chrysos” and “kolla”. It can be translated to “gold” and “glue” which is a clear reference to the fact that certain kinds can be used for soldering gold.
