Chrysocolla in quartz preformed rough slab

Location: Montezuma Mine, Cochise, Arizona

Characteristics: Chrysocolla, blue and black. Will make a gorgeous cab. Rough purchased from an oldtimer 22 years ago at a Gem and Mineral show in Avi, Arizona. I tested the rock for dye and it was negative. Gem Silica was scattered throughout the 8 lb rock I purchased, most of the rough has been sold. Preformed to help make it easier for you to finish. The cabs I made from this material were beautiful with a mirror finish, the last picture was one I created back in 2016.

Approx size: 32 x 34 x 4 mm, Weight: 54 ct.

My preformed (shaped and sanded) rough slabs are small to medium size.  I cut out most or all open fractures and ugly pits.  I will try and note anything unusual left in a slab (druzy, small pits, natural sealed fractures, etc.).  I sand all sides of a slab with 180 diamond grit so they are ready for you to finish with a finer grit and polish.

A lot of effort went into giving you a product that will make it easier for you to finish, or keep it as a nice looking natural specimen and display it on the free plastic stand. The stand is included so it will help make the slab stand out in your specimen cabinet or on a shelf. Contact us if you have any special requests, for a small charge we will re-shape or cut special slabs to your specifications. Black plastic stand is included.

FINISHING: I try and get all or most of the pits and open fractures removed and the front and back smoothed to produce a more acceptable slab for you to finish for jewelry or specimen. My recommendation for finishing my slabs is to start with 325 diamond grit and finish with 600 to-1000 grit before polishing. For extra help I have created several posts that show how I create cabs, see my website blog on Designsbyshirl.com.

COMBINING: If your combined items will fit in my standard 9x7x3" bubble envelope you will only be charged for the actual weight. Any shipping overage you may have paid will be returned manually before I ship your package.

RETURNING: 100% money back return, you can return any item for any reason, buyer pays for return postage unless it's our fault. See our return policy for more info. You must contact us before returning any item.

PICTURES: Pictures are taken wet and dry, all are wet except the last two with 10x10 background squares, wet ones bring out the colors you should see in a finished product, dry ones may show imperfections, small fractures or pits, nothing big, and all of them will probably be eliminated when you finish the slab. Any imperfections that I think should be noted will be described in the "Characteristics" paragraph above. Translucent items will have at least one picture taken with a backlight.

CAMERA LIGHT: I use a full spectrum 45 w light bulb - photography photo CFL 5500K. It's a daylight balanced pure white light.
