Azerite.... look it up, sells really well and makes nice jewelry. ..

thats amazing. is it created since the mine was created, or is that in the rock itself?

I love how azurite looks, I hope I can find some nice specimens some time. Here's two pictures I just saw a few minutes ago from a mine in AZ.

Mmmm nice cupreous material for sure. I'm interested in how close you are to the water table. Is the zone you are in supergene or hypogene?
