"That necklace is absolutely stunning! A 22-inch length is perfect for layering or wearing as a standalone piece, and the use of natural copper in chrysocolla gives it such a rich and vibrant look with those gorgeous light green-blue and dark brown hues.
Incorporating rutilated quartz and smoky quartz adds depth and visual interest, while the Mexican fire opals bring a pop of fiery color that contrasts beautifully with the other stones. The choice of 14k rose gold-filled wires is a lovely touch, adding warmth and elegance to the overall design.
This piece not only showcases creativity but also highlights the beauty of natural materials and craftsmanship. It's sure to be a favorite for anyone who loves unique jewelry with character!"
Chrysocolla
Bacan stone is known as the scientific term Chrysocolla in chalcedony or translated into Indonesian, namely krisokola quartz. Bacan stones come from Kasiruta Island which is reached as far as 3-4 hours from Bacan Island, South Halmahera, Maluku. Because of the stunning appearance and color of the stones, Bacan stones are often sought after by people as jewelry
The identical green, bluish, and blackish colored Bacan / chrysocole stones are caused by the process of changing the mineral element copper (Au) porphyry. The formation of porphyry deposits is related to hydrothermal processes. These deposits are carried by a solution of high temperature water and deposited under the surface. These porphyry deposits usually form Au metal deposits and are associated with the stockwork system. Stockwork is a condition where minerals accumulate above igneous intrusion and form a complex system of multiple and random veins. The location of these veins causes porphyry ore deposits to form. Usually it is in these deposits that chrysocole can form simultaneously.
