Azurite
Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2
 | One of the mineral forms of metallic copper is azurite. It is a carbonate mineral of copper with the chemical composition Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2. The sample shown is about 6x12 cm. It is from Bisbee, Arizona. 金属铜的一种矿物形式是蓝铜矿。它是一种铜的碳酸盐矿物，化学式为Cu₃(CO₃)₂(OH)₂。所示样品尺寸约为6x12厘米，来自亚利桑那州比斯比。
All of the samples pictured here are on display at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. 所有在此图中展示的样本均陈列于史密森尼自然历史博物馆。

These images are two parts of a section of a wall of a cave near Bisbee, Arizona. It is on display at Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It shows the blue of azurite and the green of malachite.
 Two more azurite samples from Bisbee, Arizona. They are both about 10cm across. 两块来自亚利桑那州比斯比的蓝铜矿样本。它们的直径都约为10厘米。 |  |
 The sample shown above is about 20 cm long. It has an azurite crystal and a base containing another mineral form of copper, malachite. 上图所示的样品长约20厘米。它包含一种蓝色的晶体（azurite）和一种含有铜的另一种矿物形式（malachite）。 |
 This sample is another example of blue azurite forming with green malachite. It is from Bisbee. It is about 9 cm high. 这种样本是蓝绿松石与绿色铜矿石共同形成的又一例证。它来自比斯比，高度约为9厘米。 |
The azurite is characteristically blue. The green color is characteristic of malachite. This is another sample from the Copper Queen mine in Bisbee, Arizona. It is about 13 cm across. 蓝宝石具有典型的蓝色特征。绿色是孔雀石的典型特征。这是来自亚利桑那州比斯比的铜皇后矿的一块样本，直径约为13厘米。 |  |
 | These azurite crystals are from Tsuneb, Namibia. The sample is about 5cm high. 这些蓝铜矿晶体来自纳米比亚的Tsuneb。样品高度约为5厘米。
|
This is a significantly larger sample, with vertical dimension probably 35 cm. It has azurite crystals on a base of malachite. It is from the Copper Queen mine, Bisbee, Arizona. 这是一个显著更大的样本，垂直尺寸可能为35厘米。其基质为绿松石，表面有蓝铜矿晶体。该样本来自亚利桑那州比斯比的铜王矿。 |  |
 | This is a large sample of azurite on a base which contains some malachite. The sample size is about 18x14 cm. 这是块较大的蓝铜矿，基质中包含一些孔雀石。样品尺寸约为18x14厘米。

An azurite crystal on a bed of malachite. This sample is from Bisbee and is about 16cm wide. 一块蓝铜矿晶体放在辉铜矿床中。此样本来自比斯比，宽约16厘米。 |  |
 | This azurite sample is from the Copper Queen mine in Bisbee. It is about 16cm wide. 这块蓝铜矿样本来自比斯比的铜王矿。它宽约16厘米。
|
Also from the Copper Queen mine, this azurite sample is about 38cm wide. Malachite is also evident. 此外，从Copper Queen矿开采的这一azurite样本宽约38厘米。还可以看到malachite。 |  |
 | This large azurite crystal is about 16 cm long. After the azurite formed out of copper-rich water, the composition of the solution changed, turning some of the azurite into the green malachite. This sample is from Tsumeb, Namibia. 这块大型的蓝铜矿晶体长约16厘米。在蓝铜矿从富含铜的水中形成之后，溶液的成分发生了变化，使部分蓝铜矿转变为绿色的孔雀石。这个样本来自纳米比亚的Tsumeb。
|
Also from the Copper Queen mine, this azurite sample is about 14 cm long. 此外，从Copper Queen矿采集的这一蓝铜矿样本长约14厘米。 |  |
 | This azurite sample from Tsumeb, Namibia is very different in appearance from most of the Bisbee azurite. It is about 22x27 cm in size. 这来自纳米比亚Tsumeb的蓝铜矿样本尺寸约为22x27厘米，其外观与大多数Bisbee地区的蓝铜矿截然不同。

Mindat: Azurite
Most of these azurite samples are from Bisbee, Arizona and in particular the Copper Queen mine. The Bisbee mining locality is famous worldwide for the diversity and magnificence of its minerals. Bisbee has produced over 200 kinds of minerals, most notably azurite, malachite and other copper minerals. Many of these samples are part of the Douglas Collection. They were collected by James Douglas (1837-1918), a principal mine owner in Bisbee. About 200 specimens were donated to the Smithsonian by his son, James S. Douglas.
