Azurite

JC12759.   Azurite.  Vieja mine?, Sierra Rica, Manuel Benavides Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico.   6.5 x 3 x 4.5 cm  96g.  $45.00.   Brilliant, dark blue crystals with a bit of associated quartz, and white specks of what appears to be cerussite.    Older piece, I traded for quartz crystals at Re-peat Rock Shop, in Auburn, California in December 1970.  Piece was collected prior to that, but I don't know by how much.  This is the location I was given by the Rock Shop.    I could not find a Vieja mine near Sierra Rica on the web.  The Vieja mine I did find is in Magistral, Mun. de Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico.   There is one reference to the Vieja mine as producing azurite, but no photos or other information.  So for now I will stick to Sierra Rica as the location.  Crowley collection #61.

JC12741.  Azurite, malachite.  Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia.  4.7 x 3.5 x 1.7 cm 17g  $450.00   Just shy of 2 inches, is this perfect, chisel termination azurite, with a little bit of replacement by malachite.  An interesting pedigree, as it is from the Wilhelm Kegel collection, who was from 1924 to 1933 director of the mining operations at Tsumeb mine.   Ex Erika Pohl Stroher collection.

JC11436.   Azurite, malachite.   Morenci mine, Morenci, Greenlee county, Arizona.   Approximately 5 x 6 x 8 cm  433g.  $125.00   Although the label that came with this piece says it is Shilu mine, I have not seen anything from either of the Chinese azurite locations, including the Liufengshan mine, that look even close to this specimen, especially the matrix, which is classic Morenci mine breccia matrix.  So, I am calling it as from the Morenci mine.

JC9758.  Azurite, malachite.   Milpillas mine, Cuitaca, Municipio de Cananea, Sonora, Mexico.  4 x 6.5 cm   60g.  $365.00.   A two centimeter main crystal with satellite crystals attached.   The back of the main crystals, not visible in this photo, were in contact with the pocket walls, so parts of the crystals are a bit flat.  These are the brilliant crystals with an almost Schiller like luster, where the original crystals were partly replaced by malachite and then a thin layer of azurite crystallized on the malachite, giving this incredible luster the Milpillas azurites are famous for.    The visible malachite is for the most part the thin layer of malachite that in the top half of the specimen is now azurite.

From a small breccia pipe in altered granitic rock.  The granite in the breccia pipe is highly fractured and the breccia fragments are variously coated with mostly azurite, varying amounts of tenorite, and small amounts of light green zinc rich malachite.  Nearly all the specimens have some amount of contact marks due to the tight nature of the breccia fragments cemented in the pipe.  The original find I found in 2002 had more malachite on the specimens and much lesser tenorite.

There a few areas of botryoidal malachite, some of it slightly iron stained, as can be seen.   A very nice piece with good sized crystals for the location.
