Sparkling, Drusy Azurite & Malachite (Wholesale Lot) - 36 Pieces


This is a wholesale flat of vibrant, drusy azurite and malachite crystals on matrix from Morocco. There are 36 pieces in total ranging from 1.5" to 2.6" wide. The majority of these specimens display more azurite than malachite, however malachite can be found sporadically around most of the matrixes.

Azurite and malachite are known to form in union with each other since their chemical makeup is very similar. In fact, the presence of more or less water in the location of formation is enough to determine whether an abundance of malachite over azurite, or vise-versa, will accumulate.

These minerals tend to be found near copper deposits, which accounts for the colors the minerals display. This association of azurite and malachite on copper rich, iron oxide matrix was found near M'Cissi, Alnif, Tinghir Province, Souss-Massa-Draâ Region, Morocco.
