Some facts about Azurite Malachite:

Azurite-malachite is a rare alkaline copper carbonate formed by rainwater containing carbolic acid in the oxidation zone of copper ore deposits. Azurite's low hardness limits its use as a gem and as an ornamental stone. It is often found in association with malachite in the oxidized zone above copper deposits. Azurite Malachite forms in the upper, oxidized parts of copper deposits and commonly has a botryoidal habit. The intense green color is typical of copper (although chromium, nickel and iron also account for green mineral colors). It bubbles with cold acid, showing malachite to be a carbonate. You'll usually see malachite in rock shops and in ornamental objects, where its strong color and concentric banded structure produce a very picturesque effect. This specimen shows a more massive habit than the typical botryoidal habit that mineral collectors and carvers fancy. Malachite never forms crystals of any size.

Metaphysical Properties:

Azurite-malachite encourages an interest in our surroundings and fellow human beings. It encourages harmony between the intellect and feelings, and helps to release suppressed emotions.
