 | "This specimen came out of an old East Coast Collection. This is a specimen of SOLID azurite, sliced and polished on one side to show off its famous Bisbee deep blue color. The minerals from the copper mines of Arizona, USA specifically the great mines of Bisbee, Arizona, are the result of the supergene enrichment and hydrothermal alteration of a porphyry copper sulfide intrusion. Although Arizona is well known for copper minerals, those copper mines and other mines in the state have produced ores of silver, lead, molybdenum, tin, manganese, vanadium, uranium, zinc and gold. The typical Arizona copper deposits originate from the middle Mesozoic to early Cenozoic with igneous intrusions that are characterized as a porphyry copper.
