Azuriet – Malachiet Doorboorde Hanger uit China
Azurite
Azurite is an intense blue copper-bearing mineral often found in combination with malachite. Its striking colour ranges from deep royal blue to almost black-blue and is due to its high copper content. Azurite usually forms crystals, granular masses or nodular structures, and was used as a pigment as early as ancient times.
Major deposits of azurite include Namibia, Morocco, Australia, Mexico and the United States. The mineral is formed by the oxidation of copper ores in the upper layers of deposits, often together with malachite. Its chemical formula is Cu₃(CO₃)₂(OH)₂ and its hardness is between 3.5 and 4 on the Mohs scale.

Pierced Pendants
Pierced pendants are polished and cut (precious) stones with a drill hole, making them easy to wear on a cord or chain. This makes them a popular choice for jewellery. In most cases, the pendants are pierced widthwise, from left to right.
The pierced pendants are available in various shapes and sizes, including drop, oval, point and heart. Some of the range is manufactured in China, while other pendants come from Madagascar. The pierced diameter varies by model and is usually between 2 and 4 mm. We sell the pierced pendants individually, with some having a minimum order of 5 pieces. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any matching cord or chain in our range!
