This mineral is a combination of chrysocolla, cuprite, and tenorite, and it is found only in the Milpillas Mine in Sonora, Mexico.

Sonoran sunrise beads are highly sought after by jewelry makers and collectors for their unique appearance and rarity. They are usually cut into cabochons or freeform shapes that highlight the natural patterns and colors of the mineral.
