Chrysocolla Ring 1

Description

This is a beautiful piece of bright blue chrysocolla with an unusual grey strip running through it.  The stone was obtained by Jake in a rock shop in Nevada, while on his way to the abandoned mines in the area.  Chrysocolla is in the same family as other copper based gemstones, such as malachite, azurite and turquoise.  This stone has an unusual clear/grey streak across it (take a look at the pendant made from the same stone).  The stone is set in sterling silver with a fancy sterling bezel surrounded by a twisted copper accent.  The ring stock is a thick half round wire and the ring size is 9.
