Phoenix Stone Beads

Copper plays a fascinating role in the formation of several gemstones, notably influencing their vibrant green and blue hues. This element is a key factor in the coloration of popular gemstones like Chrysocolla, Azurite, Turquoise, and Malachite. The presence of copper is what gives us these stunning colors! These stones often share similar formation environments, so it's common to find them alongside each other, usually embedded in quartz. "Phoenix Stone" is a gemstone trade name coined for rough gemstone blends that include a mix of these similar types. Sometimes, these combinations are also listed under their individual names, such as 'Chrysocolla Azurite Quartz', highlighting the variety within the mix.
