AURICHALCITE FOR SALE

Aurichalcite is a delicate, pale blue to greenish-blue mineral known for its soft, fibrous, or needle-like crystal formations that often radiate in clusters or form soft, velvety coatings on rock surfaces. It is a secondary mineral, typically found in the oxidized zones of copper and zinc deposits, and is composed of basic zinc copper carbonate. Due to its vibrant color and delicate appearance, aurichalcite is popular among collectors, although it is too fragile to be used in jewelry. This mineral is often associated with other colorful minerals, such as azurite, malachite, and smithsonite, enhancing its aesthetic appeal in mineral collections. Its softness makes it somewhat sensitive to handling, as the fine crystals can easily break or crumble.
