Description

This specimen mainly displays incredibly blue azurite, malachite along with aggregations of vivid shining sulfides as well as Galena coating a quartz matriz. Most of this specimens azurite are formed in fibrous, fan-like projections. The contrast of the azurite surrounding the quartz matriz together with the Galena, Pyrite and Chalcopyrite sulfides, give the specimen a truly unique and colorful appearance.

Azurite and also malachite are known to form in union with each other since their chemical makeup is very similar. In fact, the presence of more or less water in the location of formation is enough to determine whether an abundance of malachite over azurite, or vise-versa, will accumulate.

These minerals tend to be found near copper deposits, which accounts for the vibrant colors the minerals display. This association of Azurite, Malachite, Galena and sulfides on a quartz matrix was found near M'Cissi, Alnif, Tinghir Province, Souss-Massa-Draâ Region, Morocco.
