About Azurite
Azurite is a stunning royal blue copper mineral with a colorful history and is appreciated by collectors of all levels.  The distinct color is quickly recognizable, and examples are found in copper deposits all across the world.  The mineral was prized as a pre-industrial revolution coloring pigment for hundreds or even thousands of years, and is a hallmark of the early American southwest collections.  The presentation can vary immensely, from tabular rosettes to incredible multi-mineral associations, particularly with malachite and malachite replacement.  Because azurite is not very durable, the best specimens for collecting typically only survive in arid environments where exposure to destructive groundwater is limited.  The deserts of Arizona, Morocco, Namibia and Mexico are all famous among collectors and geologists.  Discover our collection of azurite in our web shop today!
