Azurite
Azurite is a soft, deep blue copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits. It is also known as Chessylite after the Chessy-les-Mines[1] near Lyon, France, where striking specimens have been found. The mineral has been known since ancient times, and was mentioned in Pliny the Elder's Natural History under the Greek name kuanos ("deep blue," root of English cyan) and the Latin name caeruleum[2] The blue of azurite is exceptionally deep and clear, and for that reason the mineral has tended to be associated since antiquity with the deep blue color of low-humidity desert and winter skies. The modern English name of the mineral reflects this association, since both azurite and azure are derived via Arabic from the Persian lazhward, an area known for its deposits of another deep blue stone, lapis lazuli ("stone of lazhward"). Azurite healing power: Deep blue / blue-purple. Reduces anger and stimulates the mind and body. Increases Psychic awareness and helps reduce abnormal cell growth. Azurite-Malachite healing power: Green tinges Healing stone for skin disorder. Helps reduce vanity and excessive feelings of self-importance.
