Interesting Tidbits: Shortly after azurite is mined, it begins to oxidize due to the presence of moisture in the air. If azurite is exposed to “weathering” for a prolonged period of time, it will turn completely green, becoming malachite. This oxidation process takes place because of it’s high content of copper. It’s the same reason the Statue of Liberty is green. The outer surface of the Statue of Liberty has a copper coating.
