4.6" Azurite on Orange Bladed Barite - Morocco
This specimen features clusters of small, vibrant aggregations of azurite on orange and white barite. Minuscule amounts of malachite can be found in small bunches sporadically around the specimen. In a cavity near what could be considered the bottom of the specimen, a pristine translucent fluorite cube can be found.
This specimen comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
These minerals tend to be found near copper deposits, which accounts for the colors the minerals display. This association of azurite and malachite on copper-rich iron oxide matrix was found near Boulemane Province, Fès-Meknès Region, Morocco.
