Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Een waterhoudend kopersilicaat met een groene of hemelsblauwe kleur, een stralende glans en een vaak opaalachtige textuur dat wordt gebruikt als een edelsteen. Het wordt sinds 3000 v.Chr. verzameld en gedolven als een halfedelsteen. De doorschijnende tot ondoorzichtige steen is in natuurlijke staat meestal groenachtig of hemelsblauw, maar lijkt echt groen als het wordt vermalen tot een fijn poeder dat als een pigment wordt gebruikt.
