Chrysocolla is a copper ore and should be considered toxic if ingested so please keep it out of the reach of children and animals.

Because Copper ores can be potentially toxic, we do not recommend placing these stones in a fish tank or aquarium. No special handling is required; just wash your hands if handling the stones for a long time.

As always, you are buying a rough, natural piece of stone. Therefore, you should be aware that the sizes, shapes, and colours can all differ drastically from piece to piece.
