Chrysocolla in Quartz Slabs
Chrysocolla is a popular copper secondary among lapidaries. Chrysocolla cuts with standard wheels and can usually be polished with tin oxide, diamond, or greeen rouge. Some chrysocolla tends to undercut when polished with tin oxide. When this happens, polishing with diamond and a quick follow up with green rouge should rectify the problem.
NOTE: Because of the different hardnesses between quartz and chrysocolla, the chrysocolla in this material undercuts and can be difficult to polish.
