Azurite |
|

|
Azurite is one of two basic copper carbonate minerals, the other being Malachite and the two often occur together. The blue of Azurite is exceptionally deep and clear, when Azurite crystals are large enough to be seen they appear as dark blue prismatic crystals. The intensity of the colour of Azurite can reduce over time due to bright light, heat, and open air. To help preserve the deep blue colour of a pristine Azurite specimen, collectors should use a cool, dark, sealed storage environment similar to that of its original natural setting. |
