Zecchi Historic Pigments- List 2 Crisocolla Verde

This is what the entry from the Zecchi site looks like to help in ordering: “ (CRISOCOLLA VERDE) - Chrisocolla green -copper silicate (Chrysocolla) .” Here is our best guess at the equivalent in Italian. This is from the Italian portion of the site: “ (CRISOCOLLA VERDE) - Crisocolla verde -in polvere-.”

A scholarly article we found showed Zecchi’s Chrysocolla, and we drew the color swatch from that. This swatch is surpringly deep. A picture from the Zecchi store gives what is probably a more realistic hue which we sampled as hex code #75998D. We inferred that this Crisocolla green is likely the same as Chrysocolla.
