About Us
We are a family owned and operated Chrysocolla mining operation in the beautiful Southwest, United States – Arizona.
As we mentioned in on our All About Chrysocolla page, much of Cleopatra’s jewelry was known to be made from it. Despite the unique beauty of the mineral, as well as it’s metaphysical properties, it is more-often-than-not crushed to dust and refined into gold and copper and sold off. This is why when you see a specimen or piece of jewelry made from it – it ALWAYS raises eyebrows and draws attention. Unlike Turquoise which has so saturated the market that it’s almost a visual cliche.
While refining the mineral down to sell it off as precious metals, we’ve found that jewelry makers, specimen collectors and store owners from across the world are now scrambling for the stuff. After we saw what could be made from raw Chrysocolla – we decided to switch our mining operation to its current commercialization.
Since then, we’ve become the go-to source and resource for High Grade Chrysocolla in wholesale bulk as well as our selection of cabochons, finished jewelry pieces and mounted specimens. Please contact us if you are seeking employment as a jewelry maker that works with cabs and wire work. Without the refining process, we are now able to pass those savings on to our customers. You!
