Azurite or Azure spar [5]: 14 is a soft, deep-blue copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits. During the early 19th century, it was also known as chessylite , after the type locality at Chessy-les-Mines near Lyon , France . [ 3 ]
Azurite or copper azure is an opaque or slightly translucent mineral, copper bicarbonate in composition with the ideal formula Cu 3 (СО 3) 2 (ОН) 2, having a bright blue color, one of the most common secondary minerals containing copper, also known as azure spar.
Lazurite, old name Azure spar [7]: 14 is a tectosilicate mineral with sulfate, sulfur and chloride with formula (Na,Ca) 8 [(S,Cl,SO 4,OH) 2 |(Al 6 Si 6 O 24)].It is a feldspathoid and a member of the sodalite group.
Lazulite or Azure spar [6]: 14 is a transparent to semi-opaque, blue mineral that is a phosphate of magnesium, iron, and aluminium, with the chemical formula (Mg,Fe 2+)Al 2 (PO 4) 2 (OH) 2. [3]
Azurmalachite is a mixture of azurite and malachite. [1] It is alternatively called azuromalachite, azurite-malachite and malachite-azurite. [2] Azurmalachite has a distinctive mottled green and blue coloration. It is relatively rare but can sometimes be found above copper deposits.
In mineralogy, crystal habit is the characteristic external shape of an individual crystal or aggregate of crystals. The habit of a crystal is dependent on its crystallographic form and growth conditions, which generally creates irregularities due to limited space in the crystallizing medium (commonly in rocks ).
Some older research suggests that green tea is a fantastic drink choice for those on weight loss medications since it has antioxidant properties and some metabolism-supporting benefits. “Green ...
Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of the chemistry, crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals and mineralized artifacts. Specific studies within mineralogy include the processes of mineral origin and formation, classification of minerals, their geographical distribution, as ...
