Azurite with Malachite Stone - One of a Kind, Long Raw Piece, 8 In

Few minerals give you a blue this deep straight from the ground.

This raw stone pairs bright blue azurite crystals with green malachite formations, and its long, fairly flat shape lets you lay it along a mantel or the front of a shelf so the whole surface shows. Compared with a smaller tumbled piece, a stone this size lets you see how the two copper minerals actually grow together. It is a natural fit for a geology enthusiast, a home study, or anyone who wants a striking blue mineral in place of a vase or sculpture.

About Azurite with Malachite

Azurite is a deep blue copper carbonate, and its name traces to the ancient Persian word lazhward, for blue. It is less stable in open air than malachite, the green copper carbonate, which is why the two so often occur together and why azurite is slowly replaced by malachite over time. Azurite was ground into blue pigment in ancient Egypt and Greece and was a major source of blue in medieval Europe.

Stone Meaning: Azurite with malachite is traditionally associated with insight and creativity.
