Crushed RARE Sonora Sunrise/Sunset Sand, 0.25mm-2mm for Inlay, Sand Jewelry, Art

Description: Crushed Sonora Sunrise/Sunset Sand from Mexico, Medium Crush (0.25mm-2mm) for Woodworking and Ring Inlay, Resin Art, Memorial Jewelry ABOUT SONORA SUNRISESonora Sunrise, also known as Sonora Sunset, is a rare rock that contains three dominant minerals: green chrysocolla, crimson cuprite, and tenorite (black iron oxide). Sonora Sunrise comes from only one mine in the world, the Milpillas copper mine, located in the state of Sonora, Mexico. This mine opened in 2006, but was closed in 2019, when it became less economical to continue mining ore. Thankfully, many beautiful specimens were saved during the mine's limited operation; however, they are rare. Most specimens have been sold as lapidary slabs for designer cabochons and rough rock is scarce.This particular small batch of crushed Sonora Sunrise is a perfect example of premium quality material. The green chrysocolla and the crimson cuprite are evenly distributed and are very rich in color when the material is wet or sealed with an adhesive. This material is a great choice for woodworking projects, since chrysocolla, cuprite, and tenorite are relatively soft minerals. MATERIAL SIZEOur medium material is considered to be sand sized (fine sand to very coarse sand), ranging between 0.25 millimeters to 2 millimeters. This size is great for most woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality stones.MINERAL PROPERTIESMohs’s Hardness: Chrysocolla (green): 2.5 - 3.5, Cuprite (red): 3.5 - 4, Tenorite (black): 3.5 - 4Specific Gravity (g/cm3): Chrysocolla (green): 2.0 - 2.4, Cuprite (red): 5.85 - 6.40, Tenorite (black): 6.5Luster: Opaque, Dull, WaxyColor: Green, Red, Black Origin: Milpillas Mine, Sonora, Mexico EXTRA LISTING INFOThis product is not man-made, mixed with resin, dyed, or stabilized.
