1.47" Flashy Bladed Azurite Crystals - Congo
This is a beautiful, deep blue cluster of flashy, bladed Azurite crystals from the Kimbwe Mine in the Congo. The crystals have a eye-catching, wet look to them which shimmers as the piece is rotated in the light. It has a nice, fully saturated ultra-marine color.
Azurite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral best known for its beautiful and vibrant blue appearance. Azurite typically forms in nodular formations with other colorful, copper-rich minerals. It is a secondary mineral that precipitated in pores, crevices, and caverns from water with high concentrations of carbon dioxide.
Azurite and malachite are known to form in union with each other since their chemical makeup is very similar. In fact, the presence of more or less water in the location of formation is enough to determine whether an abundance of malachite over azurite, or vise-versa, will accumulate.
