PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Azurite and Malachite Free Forms from the Congo

These small Azurite free forms sourced from the vibrant copper-rich deposits of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where deep azure blues intertwine seamlessly with lush malachite greens to create captivating, naturally irregular free forms. As hydrated copper carbonate minerals, Azurite and Malachite often form together in oxidized zones of copper ores, resulting in these petite, botryoidal specimens that showcase a mesmerizing swirl of colors, reminiscent of ocean depths meeting forest canopies. Prized for their striking beauty and historical use as pigments in ancient art, these compact pieces are ideal for retailers.
