_________________________________________

Origin from the Congo in Africa

The name Azurite is taken from the Persian word lazhward, which means “blue”.  Malachite is from the Greek word molochitis, which means “mallow plant.”  This stone’s name can also be shortened to Azurmalachite. Azurite Malachite, just like its individual stones, is quite toxic in its raw condition. Azurite Malachite can usually be found in the USA, China, Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.  The collection below are from the Congo in Africa

NOTE:  Proper care must be made when handling, cutting, grinding, or polishing it.  A face mask must be worn, and you should be careful not to inhale the dust. Also, be careful not to immerse it in water or lick it when performing crystal healing.
