| These photos are to enjoy the wonderful mineral gems from Namibia.
This is not a blog with facts about minerals and crystals, you can find excellent
information in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Like any hobby the collection of
minerals can be divided into different topics such as country, sulfides, silicates amongst
others as well as a collection of only large, or small crystals (the very small ones are
often pure perfect crystals). I prefer whatever is pretty to me. |

| Nature went overboard creating blue in Azurite. Here are a few views. This mineral has been treasured from ancient times and probable even before that. I can imagine any human female would like these gems, no matter what her background is. |

Azurite is a copper mineral which will weather into malachite. Azurite can be destroyed by heat into copper oxide a black powder. That will be a pity! |
