Whoever named this famous Arizona collecting locality had a sure lack of imagination, since the main product here is simply that... blue balls of azurite. However, some of them also contain malachite within and can give beautiful internal structures, showing both colors, as you see here in this pair of opened blue spheres with an interior of Malachite in the surrounding azurite.
