| Azurite
is a azure-blue, soft aggregate
( Hardness: 3,5 - 4) with a lustre very similar to glas. Azurite occures
together with malachite as the weathering-product of copper-deposits
and therefore both minerals are grown together very often, known as azurite-malachite.
Due to its low hardness, azurite is used for arts and crafts or it
is cut to cabochons.
