Azurite | blue crystal, mineral specimen from Chessy, France
Azurite from Chessy, France is among the world’s most iconic occurrences of this classic copper mineral, celebrated for its deep azure-blue color and distinctive rounded aggregates composed of tightly packed, angular crystals. These unusual ball-like formations, unique to the historic Chessy mine, display a striking geometric texture that sets them apart from more typical prismatic azurite crystals. Formed in the oxidized zones of copper deposits, Chessy azurite has been prized by collectors for centuries, with its exceptional color, rare crystal habit, and significance as the locality that gave rise to the term chessylite, making these specimens some of the most desirable examples of azurite from any locality.
