Azurite and malachite were among the most notable early mineral specimens found at Morenci, prized for their vibrant blue and green colors. These minerals formed as secondary copper minerals, a byproduct of the oxidation of copper sulfide ores. Early miners and collectors began salvaging these specimens, especially as interest in mineral collecting grew in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This one was salvaged beautiful and is a complete, fully formed rosette of brightly colored, bladed azurite crystals. 5 x 4 x 3.5 cm. $800. Available on @over_100_dollar_gems @arizona_minerals_only
