Go To Azurite Suns
Cu3(Co3)(OH)2 Azurite, a popular collector’s mineral, is one of the two basic copper carbonate minerals, the other being malachite. Azurite was used as a blue pigment in antiquity. Azurite is unstable in open air compared to malachite, and often is pseudomorphically replaced by malachite. Azurite is found in the same geologic settings as its sister mineral, malachite, though it is usually less abundant. Both minerals occur widely as supergene copper minerals, formed in the oxidized zone of copper ore deposits. Here they are associated with cuprite, native copper, and various iron oxide minerals. |
