Azurite-Jerome,Arizona


Azurite is a gorgeous stone found in Jerome Arizona. lt is a mineral form of metallic copper and has a gorgeous blue green color.  The Azurite itself is blue and its green partner is called Malachite. Azurite has been used as a blue pigment for centuries. Mixed with Oil it has a green color and when mixed with egg yolk it turns a green-grey color. The pigment the stone makes is very bright and was used by many medieval painters to achieve very intense blues in their paintings. Often if azurite is found while mining it is a good indicator that there may also be some weathered copper sulfide ores. This stone is said to relieve stress and enhance your inner creativeness. lt is very popular with collectors and is often worn for its metaphysical properties.
