	Info Page - Azurite
		Azurite is a carbonate mineral with chemical composition Cu (copper carbonate hydroxide).
		Azurite is often found in association with the green mineral malachite as a result of the weathering and oxidation of copper sulfide minerals.
		Today, azurite is reputed to heighten one's insight and wisdom; enhance prophesy and divination; improve and control energy flow; fortify the memory and enhance intellectual receptivity; and help evaluate a person's past beliefs and dissolve the unwanted beliefs.

	AZURITE Chapter 23. Halides and carbonates
		Azurite, a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, was first described from Franklin by Vanuxem and Keating (1822b) as “blue carbonate of copper”; and later was described by Palache (1928a, 1935).
		Azurite occurs as very fine, albeit small (1-3 mm) crystals, which were measured, described, and extensively illustrated by Palache (1928a, 1935).
		Azurite was found associated with malachite, goethite, aurichalcite, and rarely rosasite or hemimorphite at the north end of Mine Hill in Franklin.

	Azurite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Azurite is used occasionally in jewelry, but its softness and tendency to lose its deep blue color as it weathers into malachite tend to limit this.
		The use of azurite and malachite as copper ore indicators led indirectly to the name of the element nickel in the English language.
		Azurite is unstable in open air with respect to malachite, and often is pseudomorphically replaced by malachite.

	Azurite
		Azurite is rare at both Franklin and Sterling Hill.
		At Sterling Hill specimens of massive, coarse-granular franklinite ore were found intersected by veins of calcite and azurite that appear to have replaced the ore. As a whole azurite followed calcite, but the deposition of the two overlapped in part.
		Figure 69 illustrates the habit of some paper-thin plates of azurite, flattened parallel to the base, with the forms of combination 3, the relative thickness of the crystal having been exaggerated in order to show the forms that are developed only as small faces.
