A Different Standard for Cabochons

Most chrysocolla on the market is:

• Low in color intensity

• Structurally inconsistent

• Poorly cut and visually unbalanced

We reverse that process. Each cabochon is selected under a defined gemstone quality system before cutting begins — only the finest 5% qualifies for jewelry use.

This ensures a high-quality cabochon with:

• Strong color contrast between minerals

• Balanced and harmonious pattern composition

• Stable and jewelry-suitable structure

The result is a cabochon for jewelry making with both visual strength and practical usability.

The Gemrock Standard for Classic Chrysocolla

Each vein produces a distinct balance of these minerals, resulting in a wide variety of patterns and color compositions. “Classic Chrysocolla” refers to a specific material type originating from a mine south of Nasca, Peru. The material from this mine made Peruvian Chrysocolla known and famous around the world. Nowadays, it is very difficult to obtain this material in bigger quantities, given the reduced production of this old mine. Available material is on the market in small quantities at high prices.

It is defined by a natural combination of:

• Chrysocolla (turquoise blue)

• Malachite (green)

• Tenorite (black to dark metallic grey)

This combination creates:

• Strong natural contrast

• Complex yet harmonious patterns

• Highly individual cabochons

Compared to pure chrysocolla:

• More structurally stable

• More suitable for jewelry

• More visually dynamic

Before cutting, we evaluate:

• Color intensity and contrast

• Pattern composition and balance

• Structural integrity

• Surface quality and polish response

How to care for chrysocolla jewelry:
