Azurite is a popular mineral, typically found as tabular to prismatic crystals of a deep “azure blue” colour. However there are over 45 well-known forms, with over 100 forms described. Azurite is often pseudomorphed to Malachite and the two are very frequently found together.

To read more in depth information on these unusual formations see the Rocks & Minerals Magazine Vol 87, No 6.
