Eilat Stone

Q: What is Eilat Stone made of?

Eilat Stone has the chemical formula Mixed chrysocolla, malachite, turquoise, azurite, crystallises in the aggregate (multiple systems) system and measures 3 – 6 (variable) on the Mohs scale. Eilat Stone is a naturally occurring aggregate of secondary copper minerals — chrysocolla, malachite, turquoise and azurite — from the Timna Valley in southern Israel, where copper has been mined intermittently for more than five thousand years. Because it is a rock rather than a single mineral, hardness and appearance vary between specimens.
