Large, Vibrant Azurite Crystal Cluster - Morocco
This specimen contains a cluster of azurite crystals, perched within a pocket of the matrix. Some of the crystals are pristine, however the point of removal resulted in some breakage to part of the cluster. The matrix also contains small amounts of malachite and more azurite, scattered throughout
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.
