Azurite is a very popular mineral because of its unparalleled color, a deep blue called "azure", hence its name. Azure is derived from the Arabic word for blue. The color is due to the presence of copper (a strong coloring agent), and the way the copper chemically combines with the carbonate groups (CO3) and hydroxyls (OH).Azurite has been used as a dye for paints and fabrics for eons.

Malachite is used as a decorative stone when cut and polished, a semiprecious gem, and a green pigment. Half of the world's copper deposits are in the form of chalcopyrite ore. All important copper-bearing ores fall into two main classes: oxidized ores and sulfide ores. Sulfide ores are more important commercially. Ores are removed either by open-pit or by underground mining. Ores containing ...

Malachite is a distinctive material, due to its concentric rings. When the stripes can be seen, it cannot be mistaken for another material. However, when a piece of malachite is so small that it cannot be identified by the banding, it could be mistaken for other opaque green gemstones.

Occurrence. Chrysoberyl forms as a result of pegmatitic processes. Melting in the Earth's crust produces relatively low-density molten magma which can rise upwards towards the surface. As the main magma body cools, water originally present in low concentrations became more concentrated in the molten rock because it could not be incorporated into the crystallization of solid minerals.

Copper processing - Copper processing - Copper-nickel: Because copper and nickel are completely miscible (i.e., they mix thoroughly) in the solid state, forming a complete series of solid solutions, the useful range of alloys is not confined within any definite limits of composition, although certain compositions have come into general use.
