China has produced many good Azurite and Malachite specimens from copper-bearing regions, especially where weathering has exposed older copper ore bodies. This specimen shows the classic pairing of blue Azurite with green Malachite, which is common in copper-rich deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal traditions, azurite is associated with insight and the third eye chakra, and malachite with growth and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith this product, you will get the actual stone in the photograph.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"China","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48863745245354,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/7158\/3658\/files\/AzuriteChina-400.jpg?v=1784921554","url":"https:\/\/rubblerockandgem.com\/fr\/products\/azurite-specimen-liufengshan-anhui-china","provider":"Rubble Rock And Gem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
