Beautiful Azurite from the famous Malbunka Copper Mine in Australia - very rare, as the mine is now closed!
Base area of the azurite specimen approx. 5 x 5cm, weight approx. 44g.
The intense blue color is characteristic of the Azurite from this Australian Localities. Due to their mostly flat shape, these azurites are also known as azurite suns.
Localities: Malbunka Copper Mine, Gardiner Range, Northern Territory, Australia
Mining terms for azurite are mountain blue, copper blue or copper glaze, synonyms are chessylite, glaze stone and, misleadingly, azurmalachite and copper lapis.
