BOTRYOIDAL AZURITE
Azurite is a secondary copper mineral that is frequently found in oxidized zones in deposits of copper ore.
Azurite is named after the Persian word “lazhward” for its characteristic blue color.
It is said that there are over 45 well known forms of azurite.
Early Egyptians believed that azurite had the power to communicate with spirits.
