 | "A complete floater rosette ball of azurite from China, with large crystals in stacks all the way around. Azurite is a very popular mineral because of its unparalleled color, a deep blue called "azure", hence its name. Azure is derived from the arabic word for blue. The color is due to the presence of copper (a strong coloring agent), and the way the copper chemically combines with the carbonate groups (CO3) and hydroxyls (OH). Azurite has been used as a dye for paints and fabrics for eons." Location: Guangdong Province, China Size: 6.3 x 5.9 x 3.9 cm. Weight: 1.0 lbs. Quantity Available: 1 Price: $100.00 |
