2UB Chrysocolla Azurite Silver Ore in Quartz for Lapidary

$35.00

Details

2UB is the phonetic word for “Bluebird” in Paiute (TooYooBe)

This material comes from our mine in Nevada.
The mine was primarily a gold mine in the 1930’s but it contains quite a bit of silver and copper
ore as well.
Chrysocolla and azurite are just a few of the copper minerals present.

This is a large slab at 6.75 x 5.5 x .28 inches at it’s widest points

2UB is not a beginner material if you plan to cab it.
It will polish nicely but the mixed densities of quartz (6) and metals (4.5 +/-) can make
It challenging.

There are 2 photos taken wet to simulate what it will look like polished and two dry photos.
I also included two photos that show which cracks would need to be stabilized if you plan to
polish it as a slab. The majority of the cracks you see are stable. Even some of the lighter ones
that look fragile will polish just fine giving your cab a very unique look.
I have polished a great deal of this material.

The very light blue spots might be too soft to cab as well.

Please feel free to ask questions!
