The Grandview Trail was built in 1892-1893 to service the mine to haul ore out of the canyon by pack train. The ore consisted mostly of copper sulfate minerals including cyanotrichite, brochantite, and chalcoalumite, along with copper carbonates such as azurite and malachite. Like many historic mines in Grand Canyon, including the Orphan Mine, the mineralized zone is in a breccia pipe, which is a cylindrical mass of highly fractured rock. In the Grand Canyon region, breccia pipes formed from the collapse of solution caverns in the Redwall Limestone. The highly porous brecciated rock in these features was mineralized by copper- and\u002For uranium-bearing fluids.

The Grandview Trail was built in 1892-1893 to service the mine to haul ore out of the canyon by pack train. The ore consisted mostly of copper sulfate minerals including cyanotrichite, brochantite, and chalcoalumite, along with copper carbonates such as azurite and malachite. Like many historic mines in Grand Canyon, including the Orphan Mine, the mineralized zone is in a breccia pipe, which is a cylindrical mass of highly fractured rock. In the Grand Canyon region, breccia pipes formed from the collapse of solution caverns in the Redwall Limestone. The highly porous brecciated rock in these features was mineralized by copper- and\u002For uranium-bearing fluids.

Leadville is well known for its Silver deposits, but the secondary ore minerals from the Sherman mine are treasured by Colorado collectors. This piece features more associated species on the same specimen than I have seen from the Sherman mine. It features tiny white \"snowflakes\" of Cerussite lightly dusted with Rosasite on Azurite along with crystals of Smithsonite and Mimetite, plus the very rarely seen arsenate, Beudantite on a matrix of golden Baryte crystals, Galena and Quartz. I spent nearly 30 minutes with this piece under the microscope. It's an incredibly fun specimen to view under high magnification, and an amazing association specimen from one of the most storied mining districts in Colorado. Colorful secondary ore specimens are not the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Colorado, and this piece is about as rich as it gets when it comes to species. This specimen was collected in 1980, and stands as one of the most unique pieces I have ever seen from Leadville. From C-22 Area. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",417,504,{"id":973,"source_url":974,"license_code":501,"credit_html":975,"title":976,"description":969,"author":565,"original_width":977,"original_height":971},35737,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10169724","Robert M.

At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical.  Currently, there are over 5600 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common.  Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry.  Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The carbonate minerals all contain one or more carbonate (CO3-2) anions.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Malachite and azurite are attractive, richly colored copper hydroxy-carbonate minerals.   Malachite has a nice green color - its formula is Cu2CO3(OH)2.  Azurite has a dark, rich blue color - its formula, Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2, is very close to malachite.  The blue color of azurite is from Cu+, while the green color of malachite is from Cu+2.  Azurite & malachite almost invariably occur together, and are telling indicators of copper in the field, even in very small quantities.  Blue azurite tends to crystallize first, and can convert to green malachite.  Some azurite-malachite specimens are solid enough to be cut and polished as semi-precious stone.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The sample seen here is on an ore pile at the Continental Mine (= Continental Pit) in Butte, Montana.  The town is known as the “Richest Hill on Earth” and \"The Mining City\".  The Butte Mining District has produced gold, silver, copper, molybdenum, manganese, and other metals.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The area's bedrock consists of the Butte Quartz Monzonite (a.k.a. Butte Pluton), which is part of the Boulder Batholith.  The Butte Quartz Monzonite (\"BQM\") formed 76.3 million years ago, during the mid-Campanian Stage in the Late Cretaceous.  BQM rocks have been intruded and altered by hydrothermal veins containing valuable metallic minerals - principally sulfides.  The copper mineralization has been dated to 62-66 million years ago, during the latest Maastrichtian Stage (latest Cretaceous) and Danian Stage (Early Paleocene).  In the supergene enrichment zone of the area, the original sulfide mineralogy has been altered.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Continental Mine targets a low-grade copper and molybdenum deposit on the eastern side of the Continental Fault, a major Basin & Range normal fault in the Butte area with about 3500 feet of offset.  The mine's rocks consists of disseminated copper sulfides plus copper- and molybdenum-bearing hydrothermal veins that intrude the BQM.  Minerals at the site include chalcopyrite, molybdenite, malachite, azurite, tenorite, and cuprite.  The latter four minerals are secondary copper minerals, produced by alteration of the primary copper sulfides.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When I visited in 2010, the Continental Mine was making 50,000 to 52,000 tons of ore each day.  This mine can operate down to an ore grade of 0.1% copper.  Most of the mineralization is disseminated copper, but veins are also present.  Two stages of mineralization occurred in the Butte area - a porphyry copper system and a main stage system with large veins.  The bottom of the porphyry copper system is ~ less than 12,800 feet below the surface.  Veins peter out at 5600 to 5800 feet below the surface.  At the Continental Mine, veins are small - they're veinlets less than 6 inches wide.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cp>Photo gallery of

more than two centuries, azurite was the workhorse blue of European painting. The painter's alternative — lapis lazuli, ground into ultramarine — had to be shipped overland from Afghanistan; azurite was common in Europe[1]. It earned its dominant role in European painting from the 15th to the middle of the 17th century[2].\n\nAzurite's history runs deeper than that. Ancient Egyptians mined it in Sinai and used it as a pigment in Fourth-Dynasty artifacts (2613–2494 BCE) and in Fifth-Dynasty mummy contexts at Meidum[3]. Mesopotamian writers later documented how to grind the mineral[4]. Greek painters used it on the Acropolis in Athens[5]. Roman writers knew of it, though they did not adopt it for wall painting[6].\n\nThe blue itself was finicky. Ground to different fineness levels, the powder gave a range of blues. Mixed with oil it turned slightly green; with egg yolk it took on a grey-green cast[7]. Many medieval pieces were mislabeled *lapis lazuli*; modern analysis has identified the actual pigment as azurite[8].\n\nIn 1824, the French mineralogist and geologist François Sulpice Beudant gave the mineral its modern name. He drew *azurite* from the ancient Persian *lazhward*, meaning *blue*[9].","claude-opus-4-7","1.7.0","2026-06-02 13:20:16",{"markdown":1520,"model_version":1516,"prompt_version":1517,"reviewed_at":1521},"Azurite's brightest commercial role today is as a tip-off. Where a vivid blue stains a hillside, copper sulfide ores typically lie below[1]. The azurite at the surface is a weathering product of the sulfides beneath.\n\nThe mineral itself is a very minor ore of copper[2]. It is cut occasionally for jewellery, set as beads, or sold as polished ornamental pieces[3]. Its softness and tendency to fade with weathering keep the market modest.\n\nCollectors take the mineral for its intense colour. Specimens remain stable under ordinary storage conditions, despite a common belief to the contrary[4]. \n\nNotable deposits sit at Tsumeb in Namibia, Chessy in France, and Bisbee in Arizona[5].","2026-06-02 13:23:58"]
