Azurite<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n 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 Cu\u2083(CO\u2083)\u2082(OH)\u2082 and its hardness is between 3.5 and 4 on the Mohs scale.<\/p>\n Sources: <\/strong> Malachite<\/a> is an intense green copper-bearing mineral notable for its characteristic band patterns and glass to silky luster. The colour ranges from light green to dark green, often with concentric or layered drawings. The mineral usually forms in the oxidation zones of copper deposits.<\/p>\n Major deposits include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia, Russia, Australia and the United States. Malachite has the chemical formula Cu\u2082CO\u2083(OH)\u2082 and a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale.<\/p>\n There are no official subspecies, but notable forms include botryoidal malachite (grape-shaped), needle-shaped malachite (silk malachite) and malachite with azurite, with the mineral occurring together with the blue copper ore form azurite.<\/p>\n Sources: <\/strong> Silver pendants from our range are high-quality jewellery, with carefully selected (precious) stones set in 925 sterling silver.
