Collection: Azurite

Azurite is a strikingly unique mineral renowned for its deep blue hue. This copper carbonate mineral is often found in conjunction with other copper-based minerals such as malachite, earning it the nickname of "blue copper." Azurite crystals, though rare, are highly sought after by collectors due to their vibrant color and distinctive monoclinic crystal structure. Historically, Azurite was used extensively as a blue pigment in paints and dyes until the development of synthetic alternatives. Today, it remains a popular choice among gemstone enthusiasts and is also studied for its potential uses in new technologies.
