Morenci Azurite and Chrysocolla

🌄 Morenci Azurite & Dendritic Chrysocolla – Historic Arizona Material, Stabilized & Cut in Arkansas

These cabochons feature a stunning blend of Azurite in Matrix and Dendritic Chrysocolla, sourced from an old collection of material from the legendary Morenci Mine in southeastern Arizona. Known for its rich copper deposits, the Morenci Mine has been a cornerstone of American mining history since the 1800s, producing vibrant mineral specimens prized by collectors and lapidary artists alike.

The material showcases deep blues of azurite and vivid greens of chrysocolla, often accented by dendritic patterns formed by secondary iron and manganese oxides. The host matrix ranges from earthy beige to creamy white, adding contrast and character to each piece.

To ensure durability and polishability, each cabochon has been professionally stabilized with eco-friendly resin and cut and polished in Arkansas—bringing new life to this historic material while preserving its natural beauty.
