Azurite and sterling silver ring

Azurite is a soft, deep blue copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits
The blue of azurite is exceptionally deep and clear, and for that reason the mineral has tended to be associated since antiquity with the deep blue color of low-humidity desert and winter skies.
It has been used as a dye for paints and fabrics for eons.
Azurite is a gemstone of spiritual transformation and communication. It is an ideal healing stone for meditation and awakening a higher awareness, but it also benefits the physical body.
