Azurite with Malachite – Mibladen, Morocco 2

Azurite with Malachite – Mibladen, Morocco

This classic Azurite with Malachite specimen originates from the renowned Mibladen mining district, Midelt Province, Morocco—one of the world’s most famous localities for copper minerals.

The specimen features deep royal-blue azurite crystals beautifully associated with vivid green malachite, creating a striking natural contrast. In many Mibladen pieces, malachite forms as a secondary mineral through the alteration of azurite, resulting in attractive intergrowths and partial pseudomorphs that are highly sought after by collectors.

Mibladen azurite is celebrated for its rich color saturation, sharp crystal forms, and historic provenance, making this specimen an excellent addition to any serious mineral collection. Whether displayed alone or as part of a Moroccan mineral suite, this piece represents a classic and enduring collectible.
