Associated minerals are quartz, limonite, azurite, malachite, cuprite, and other secondary copper minerals.  Chrysocolla has an attractive blue-green color and is a minor ore of copper. It is also used as an ornamental stone. Because of its light color, it is sometimes confused with turquoise. Gem grade chrysocolla can be highly prized.  Notable occurrences include Israel, Democratic Republic of Congo, Chile, Cornwall in England, and Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Pennsylvania in the United States.
