Azurite Cab • AAA • Oval • 17 mm

A visually breathtaking achievement of exceptional craftsmanship made with Azurite “Ocean Blue”, now an exclusive stone of Gemrock Peru. This top-quality cabochon meets the highest expectations of jewelers. The top-quality material was hand-selected in the mine, when it still was active. The impeccable cutting quality represents the superior craftsmanship of our experienced in-house master gem cutters. Ethical sourcing and production. Environmentally friendly and carbon neutral.

Description: Azurite “Ocean Blue” came from a vein that was discovered in 2018 near Tarma in the Peruvian Andes. The vein was fully exploited and did run dry within less than a year.  It is a mixture of azurite, malachite, and white limestone being crossed by fine brown oxidation layers. Parts of the vein also include quartz. The vein was only about 4 cm thick.

• Ethically mined and produced: Gemrock only buys from legal providers (paper trail). Our Cabochons are exclusively produced by our in-house gemcutters. Our staff works under legal labor contracts, at higher than average salaries, and receives all labor benefits as well as excellence bonuses and a share in the companies’ profits.

• Environmentally friendly and carbon-neutral: Gemrock continuously works towards saving water and energy, and reducing waste along its entire production chain. The remaining impact is measured via carbon footprint evaluation and is neutralized by a reforestation project financed by a small percentage of our profits from each cabochon.

• Care Instructions: Clean your Azurite by wiping it with a dry cloth.
