Azurite is a rich royal blue copper mineral that is produced from the oxidation of copper ore deposits. It forms between layers of a clay mineral called kaolinite, compressing and forcing the azurite to grow radially, creating a “sun.” Azurite suns are incredibly unique not just because of how they form but because they are only found in the Malbunka Copper Mine in Australia.   Name: Azurite Sun in Kaolinitic Siltstone/SandstoneLocality: Malbunka Copper Mine, Western Arana country, Areyonga (Utju), Central Australia, Northern Territory, Australia     Size: 1 x 1.13 x .44 inches Weight: 0.4 oz.
