Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate mineral of secondary origin and forms in the oxidation zones of copper ore bodies. The structure of the mineral has been questioned, as spectrographic studies suggest material identified as chrysocolla may be a mixture of the copper hydroxide spertiniite and chalcedony. It is typically found as botryoidal or rounded masses and crusts or vein fillings.
