General Comment
Site: See Object's History. Material: Azurite is a deep blue basic carbonate that occurs in copper deposits, found in the Sinai and the Eastern Desert. It is an oxidised product derived from the decomposition of copper sulphide and always occurs on or near the surface, hence it is easily found and worked.
