Azurite is a soft stone, named for its deep “azure blue” color. It is a copper carbonate mineral found in the upper oxidized portions of copper ore formed in masses, nodules, tabular or prismatic crystals, sometimes with a vitreous luster.

Malachite is a deep-green mineral with darker green rings when polished. The rings come from a botryoidal (grape-like) growth structure when polished down. In ancient Egypt, the color green was associated with new life and fertility.  Malachite is thought to deepen emotional life, promote adventurousness, and promote power of imagination and decision.
