{"product_id":"azurite-malachite-specimen","title":"Azurite with Malachite Specimen","description":"\u003cp\u003eAzurite and malachite are two copper minerals that often grow together, and in this raw specimen the deep royal blue of azurite meets the rich green of malachite in one natural piece. The contrast is striking, like a tiny landscape of sky and forest. Our supplier describes these as collector grade, 100% natural specimens with no repair. Each option is an individual piece, listed by weight or box size, so you choose the exact specimen you want for your cabinet or collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural azurite intergrown with malachite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw mineral specimen from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/raw\"\u003eRaw Crystals and Clusters\u003c\/a\u003e collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual specimens from about 11g to 90g, plus two boxed pieces listed as Box Size 34mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e One raw azurite and malachite specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exact Pick.

Malachite is traditionally a heart chakra stone of transformation and emotional growth. When the two grow together, many people see the specimen as a meeting of mind and heart: insight that leads to real change. It is a favorite for study spaces and meditation altars.

Do not use this specimen in water, elixirs or baths, and keep it away from children and pets. Wash your hands after handling. Dust it with a soft dry brush, keep it out of strong sunlight and heat, and store it apart from harder stones.

These are natural azurite and malachite specimens. The blue and green colors come from copper in the minerals themselves, and our supplier states the pieces are unrepaired and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs azurite safe to handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for normal display and occasional handling. Like other copper minerals, it should not be licked, used in water or ground into dust. Wash your hands after touching it and keep it out of reach of children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill mine look like the photo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Smaller pieces suit thumbnail collections, and heavier ones make strong cabinet specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a good gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the right person, yes. It is ideal for mineral collectors and anyone who loves rich natural color, though it is best kept as a display piece rather than a stone to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Azurite?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAzurite is a copper carbonate mineral that forms in the weathered upper zones of copper deposits. Over time, azurite can slowly alter into \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/malachite-crystals\"\u003emalachite\u003c\/a\u003e, its green copper carbonate cousin, which is why the two are so often found together on one specimen. For centuries azurite was ground into a blue pigment for paintings. Its deep, saturated blue sets it apart from lapis lazuli, which is a rock with gold pyrite flecks, and from dyed howlite, which is much lighter and more chalky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFurther
