Carnotite is a rare mineral at Mashamba and the specimens where recovered in the mid 1980’s. As the Mashamba mine is flooded and most probably exhausted, no specimens will perhaps ever reach the market again. Crystallized carnotite is rare from any locality, and the aesthetics of this piece are particularly nice.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",404,{"id":583,"source_url":584,"license_code":357,"credit_html":585,"title":586,"description":580,"author":361,"original_width":438,"original_height":362},38398,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10161242","Robert M.

This piece has beautiful, powder-blue chrysocolla forming as stalactitic growths and as a thin carpet in the few hollow vugs inside a matrix of nearly solid tyrolite. On analysis by modern equipment, the matrix material shows to be tyrolite, clinotyrolite, and possibly other related species admixed (XRAY and powder, Bart Cannon’s lab, 2008). However, apparently the official mineralogy of tyrolite classification is confusing and has changed over time. Clinotyrolite is often considered a species by many people, though without IMA approval. I quote MINDAT’s page on the matter verbatim to make sure I do not mistakenly convey the science: Since it is well-known that also carbonate-free varieties of tyrolite exist, \"tyrolite\" may actually represent two or more minerals\u002Fpolytypes. At least two monoclinic polytypes of tyrolite are known (Krivovichev et al., 2006); one of them seems to be identical to \"clinotyrolite\". Note that this is the first report of the locality to MINDAT for tyrolite occurence, but it is likely that this rare species is present on other old specimens of \"chrysocolla\" from Chile. Ex.

It comes from two Greek words — *chrysos*, gold, and *kolla*, glue — and the Greek philosopher Theophrastus used it in 315 BCE for a green paste applied to solder gold onto other metals[1]. The mineral was named for the recipe, not the other way round.\n\nIn antiquity the word was generous. Ancient writers used *chrysocolla* for a range of green, copper-bearing materials gathered for one craft purpose — joining worked gold to gold[2]. The label stretched across what later mineralogy would split into malachite, verdigris, and the specific hydrous copper silicate we now call chrysocolla. For two thousand years the word travelled with the trade.\n\nThe modern, narrower meaning is much younger. In 1808 the French mineralogist André-Jean-François-Marie Brochant de Villiers revived the ancient name and attached it to a single species — the soft, blue-green copper silicate that forms in the weathered tops of copper deposits[3]. Brochant de Villiers was a founding figure of the École des Mines in Paris. He later directed the first geological map of France, and his 1808 choice fixed the modern usage of the name.","claude-opus-4-7","1.7.0",{"markdown":1080,"model_version":1077,"prompt_version":1078,"reviewed_at":11},"Chrysocolla earns its keep at the surface of copper mines, not at the smelter. It forms as crusts and masses where copper-bearing ores have been broken down by water carrying dissolved silica, mostly in arid country[1]. When those crusts are mined out alongside richer sulfide ores, the copper they hold is recovered. On its own, the mineral is a very minor ore of copper — gathered up where it appears, not sought out as a primary target[2].\n\nIts second life is in the lapidary trade — the cutting and polishing of stones for ornament. Chrysocolla yields a vivid blue-green stone that has stood in for turquoise in silversmithing and goldsmithing since antiquity[3]. The catch is hardness. Pure chrysocolla is soft. Material that holds a polish well has usually been naturally silicified — the copper silicate threaded through harder quartz or chalcedony[4].\n\nThe most valuable of those silicified forms is **gem silica**, a translucent blue-green chalcedony coloured by chrysocolla and prized as the most valuable variety of chalcedony[5]. The Miami-Inspiration Mine in Arizona is the leading recent source; fine cut stones sell for more than 100 dollars per carat[5].\n\nA second named lapidary material is **Eilat stone**, mined in the Timna Valley of southern Israel. It is a natural intergrowth of chrysocolla with malachite, azurite and turquoise rather than a single phase. It has been Israel's national stone since the 1950s[6]."]
