Azurite Gemstone - Gemstones TV

Azurite, named for its azure blue color, derives its beauty from the intricate interplay of copper, carbon, and oxygen within its crystalline structure. Formed through the oxidation of copper ore deposits, Azurite typically occurs in association with other copper minerals such as malachite, cuprite, and chrysocolla. Its formation occurs in oxidizing conditions, often in the upper weathering zones of copper deposits, where copper-rich solutions interact with carbonate rocks.
