Navajo Artist Cathy Webster has handmade these beautiful  Chrysocolla Earring set in sterling silver.
Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate mineral, often found in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. It’s known for its vibrant blue and green hues, and it’s frequently found in association with other copper minerals like turquoise and malachite. Due to its relatively soft nature (2.5-3.5 on the Mohs scale), it’s often found as a gemstone when combined with harder minerals like chalcedony or quartz
