The vivid blue azurite contrasts beautifully against the pale kaolinite matrix, creating a specimen with both strong visual balance and unusual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAzurite Suns are prized by collectors for their distinctive flattened radial habit. Rather than forming as typical prismatic azurite crystals, these specimens developed as compressed disc-like growths within fine-grained kaolinite-rich material. This piece is especially appealing for its combination of two larger suns and the organic, branching blue formation across the matrix face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAzurite Sun Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 236 g \/ 8.32 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 4.65 x 2.76 x 1.18 in \/ 11.8 x 7.0 x 3.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSmall Cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMalbunka Copper Mine, Areyonga, Gardiner Range, MacDonnell Region, Northern Territory, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAzurite on Kaolinite Matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCopper Carbonate Hydroxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCu3(CO3)2(OH)2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRadial disc \/ “sun” formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSecondary copper mineralization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatrix:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePale kaolinite-rich matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChakra:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThird Eye • Throat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntention:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eInsight • Focus • Rare Formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApprox. 3.5–4 on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeological Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAzurite Suns are a rare and highly recognizable formation associated with the Malbunka Copper Mine in Australia’s Northern Territory.
