Malachite and Azurite C013 / 5323
Malachite and Azurite sample from Morenci, Arizona, on display at Biosphere 2. Malachite (green) and Azurite (blue) are copper carbonate minerals formed by the weathering of copper ore deposits. Biosphere 2, near Tucson, Arizona, was developed in the late 1980s for research into how natural environments create habitable conditions for human sustainability ( biosphere 1 being the Earth)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning display of Malachite and Azurite, two exquisite copper carbonate minerals found in Morenci, Arizona. The vibrant green hues of Malachite beautifully contrast with the deep blue tones of Azurite, creating a visually striking composition. These minerals are formed through the natural weathering process of copper ore deposits. The photograph captures this remarkable sample from Morenci on exhibit at Biosphere 2 near Tucson, Arizona. Developed in the late 1980s, Biosphere 2 was established as a research facility to study how natural environments sustain human life (referred to as biosphere 1 - Earth). This unique location provides an ideal setting for studying geological phenomena like weathering and mineral formation. The image highlights the intricate patterns and textures within these rocks, showcasing their distinct veins and deposits. It serves as a reminder of the geological wonders that can be found across America's landscapes. Photographed by Mark Williamson for Science Photo Library, this print offers an opportunity to appreciate nature's artistry while also providing valuable scientific insights into our planet's processes. Whether you're fascinated by geology or simply captivated by its beauty, this print is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity about Earth's incredible formations.
