Gem silica is a bluish green to greenish blue variety of chalcedony that receives its vivid colour from the presence of copper. It is often known as chrysocolla chalcedony or gem silica chrysocolla.
Gem silica is the most valuable variety of chalcedony, the best specimens have a pleasing blue colour, strong saturation, a uniform translucence, and a lack of inclusions.
Only a few locations have produced noteworthy amounts of gem silica. Most of these locations have been productive for only a few years before being worked out.
The Inspiration Mine in Arizona was the best source of high-quality gem silica but is now closed.
This gemstone came from the Inspiration Mine
