Azurite is an an intense deep blue color with a Mohs hardness between 3 and 4. Various sources claim the name is derived from the Persian word lazhward or from the Arabic word azul, which both mean blue. Azurite often occurs with malachite, chrysocolla or turquoise in areas with copper deposits. A rare form called "Bluebird" has dark red Cuprite mixed with it. Azurite is found in the southwestern USA, Mexico, Chile, Australia, France, Nambia, Morocco, and Zaire. For thousands of years this stone has been used in jewelry and ornamental objects. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance it was ground into pigment for use in paint and eye shadow. It is not generally known as a birthstone, but references indicate it may have been used as a birthstone for the sign of Taurus.
