Azurmalachite can also be called Azurite-Malachite as it is a combination of the two minerals.
Azurite and Malachite are formed from copper rich solutions percolatimg into cavities in pre-existing limestone or marble rocks. As the water evaporates the minerals are precipitated often forming stalactite or stalamite structures within cave formations. Once sliced open the stalactites reveal the wonderful banded patterns of alternating blue Azurite and green Malachite each gemstone being completely unique. It is found in Namibia, southe west U.S.A. and France.
