Azurite/Malachite

Mineral Type: No Cleavage

– Azurite is a nonmetallic mineral that is deep blue in color, has a hardness of 3.5 to 4.0 and a specific gravity of 3.7 to 3.9 (this is high for a nonmetallic mineral). Malachite is identical in almost all properties except that it is green in color. Both are copper carbonates.
