About Azurmalachite

Azurmalachite, also called azurite-malachite, is an intergrowth of brilliant blue azurite and vivid green malachite forming swirling, contrasting patterns that make each piece entirely unique. Found in the oxidized zones of copper deposits in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Morocco, Australia, and the American Southwest, it is highly prized as a cabochon material and for carving decorative objects. The bold complementary color contrast of deep blue and emerald green gives it exceptional visual appeal.
