Gemstone:- Azurite
Azurite is a rare variety of gemstone quality copper ore. Azurite is one of two basic copper carbonate minerals (malachite is the other). Azurite is rarer than malachite and is considered to be more valuable. Azurite gets its name from the Persian word 'lazhward', which refers to its distinctive, vivid blue color. Azurite is a fairly soft stone and its use in jewelry is actually quite limited. In fact, azurite is more sought after by gem and mineral collectors, rather than jewelry designers. It is most often carved into interesting ornamental shapes and designs instead of being faceted for mainstream jewelry use.
Azurite's color closely resembles that of lapis lazuli (minus the speckles of gold pyrite). Azurite is frequently found mixed with malachite; hybrid malachite and azurite specimens are known in the trade as 'azure-malachite' or sometimes without the hyphen, as 'azurmalachite'. Other hybrid varieties exist as well, including a rare mix of azurite and cuprite known as 'bluebird' in the gem trade. In addition to lapis lazuli, azurite is also confused with sodalite, linarite and lazulite. However, through simple testing, each of these gems are easily distinguished from azurite.
One of the first major sources of azurite was discovered in Chessy, a small commune located in the eastern suburbs of France, close to Lyon. Owing to its Chessy origin, azurite earned its locality-based trade name, 'chessylite'. In addition to gem use, azurite is also an industrial gem, much like garnet. In fact, since the Middle Ages, azurite has been used for the production of pigments and textile color dye.
