Azurite is a soft, deep-blue copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits. It is best known for its characteristic deep blue to violet-blue color. The blue color, known as "azure," is like the deep blue evening skies often seen above deserts and winter landscapes. Azurite often occurs with green Malachite, which may form green stains or specks on Azurite crystals or aggregates.Malachite is a copper carbonate with a bright green color and dark green banding. Usually found near copper deposits, it is formed through the combination of carbonated water, limestone and copper.
