Azurite's Physical Properties
Azurite is a special form of stone. In its rough form, Azurite has the look of a sponge-like substance and, when split open, the crystals inside can be seen. Copper ores must oxidize to produce Azurite and its deep blue color. Then, over time, the oxidized rock absorbs water and produces Malachite on top of and inside the Azurite. The Malachite looks like bright green flashes of color. Azurite is found in copper mining areas such as Australia, Chile, Africa and China.
