Azurite - Stone of Heaven

Azurite malachite is a captivating, naturally occurring mix of deep blue azurite and vibrant green malachite, both copper carbonate minerals often found together near copper deposits, valued for their striking colors, use as ornamental stones (azurmalachite), and believed metaphysical properties for intuition, emotional healing, and spiritual growth, stimulating the Third Eye and Heart chakras. 
 
Mineralogy & Geology
Composition: Both are hydrated copper carbonates, formed by the oxidation of copper ores.
Formation: They frequently occur together, with azurite (blue) often transforming into malachite (green) as oxidation progresses, creating unique patterns.
Appearance: Ranges from banded, swirling patterns to mottled mixtures, showcasing deep blues, greens, and sometimes lighter blues with chrysocolla. 
 
Uses & Significance
Ornamental: Popular for cabochons, carvings, and as collector's specimens due to their beauty.
Pigments: Historically used as brilliant blue and green pigments.
Indicators: Can serve as indicators for copper deposits. 
 
Metaphysical Properties (Believed)
Azurite: "Stone of Heaven," deep blue, associated with the Third Eye, intuition, mental clarity, and deep introspection.
Malachite: Rich green, linked to the Heart & Throat chakras, protection, emotional healing, and freeing emotional expression.
