That meta verse shop is awesome. It is such an awesome idea for the gem and mineral community. I stumbled into this video looking around for various lapidary information. Mainly on opal and even more specifically Peruvian blue and pink. I’ve gotten some beautiful material and started looking more into the opal and discovered all the various materials that Peru has to offer. Living in a river delta myself, I find it awe inspiring to have so much natural materials at your feet. We get the stuff that runs down where I am from. Keep on with the great videos and I’m off to borrow my son’s oculus and go shopping.
Thank you for liking the metaverse space. It is however far from what we aiming for. Just a very basic start. Over the course of 2023 we will improve on this. And, yes, Peru offers a huge variety of minerals and crystals.
Fantastic video! I was staring at my chrysocolla wondering why it has such unique coloration and came across this video. It answered all my questions and more! That is fascinating to learn that their trails are followed into the ground to find copper and that it grows in that bubble formation. I can imagine many in history were intrigued by these rich blue hues in the middle of the desert rock. Truly an amazing stone with a rich history. Thank you for raising awareness for the conditions of their mining, I hope for a safer future of mining for them.
Thank you Chloe, very kind of you. it is indeed a fascinating stone. Tomorrow or the day after I will publish a new video launching our Looking Glass Crystals - they have chrysocolla on them too. You don't want to miss that video - stay tuned and follow me. cheers
Fantastic overview of the beautiful brat of copper world! I love Chrysocolla and have a small amount of (handfulls not buckets full) workable rough, but the bulk of the stuff I’ve found, as you pointed out, it is crumbly and only good for inlay. If you have any advice on stabilization, it would be helpful. I’m currently experimenting with sodium silicate, but many people see that as a fools errand. ;)
Hi @PSMITHjl we do not stabilize our chrysocolla. We have learned special ways of cutting and carving that reduces breakage. we produce all kind of shapes and cabochons from chrysocolla. For pure cyan blue cabs only our best cutters are working on it to reduce breakage.
If you want to buy our crystals (specimen and fine minerals) and crystal products (decor, energy products, home-decor and jewelry) please go to www.gemrockshop.com
Thanks for the opinion: I have to provide clarifying information on this one: the shine (polish) of a sphere or heart or any other carved product of any stone depends on the effort of work invested. A bad shine is because the producer only works with the first polishing belts to maybe 1200 grit. For improving the polish the only thing that needs to be done is polish finer let us say to 3000 or 6000 grit. So this is NOT "fake" - the quality of the polish is really "quality of work" - if you have a stone that has no shine its because of sloppy work and to save money in production. High quality is because the carver is "doing a good job" - nothing is fake about it. The physical capacity for the stone to shine is naturally given. It would never shine if it were a porous stone, even if you polish it up to 50.000 grit. To make a chrysocolla shine, no chemicals or other treatments are used - just grinding and polishing as humans have done it with stone for thousands of years - so nothing fake here. Of course, you have the right to prefer the rough rock without any polish if that's your personal taste. No argument about that - just correcting the wrong perception that the shine or polish is "fake". Cheers

Wow.. that's the best explanation sir.. and sharing the idea about chrysocolla crystals .

I prefer the low quality ... I hate the shine. I will never want manufactured fake shine on a chrysacholla
