Uncovering a Hidden Gem in Utah: Blueberry Azurite Crystals

Are you looking for a hidden gem in Utah? If so, you might want to check out Blueberry Azurite Crystals!
Azurite is a natural blue colored mineral that forms along with copper and other things. This mineral is known for its beautiful blue color and striking crystal formation. This location near Moab, Utah is the best for finding the Blueberry variety! So many can be found that you have a limit to one container to fill up with the tour group. What a fun location to go!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I'm so excited I'm having palpitations! I've been in that area 50+ years ago. So wonderful to see that area of land and vista again. Makes me feel young and vital when I get to ride along in your napsack!!! Thanks Crystal Hunter!!! And thanks Matrix...you mighty gem hunting dog!

[@JessKalinow]

hi, i know this may not be the same thing, but there are many mines that will ship gallon bags of natural or seeded dirt for rock hounding at home. I think this may help get that fix for you!

[@crystalinedreams6039]

boy do i know how you feel! same here in a big way, the worse thing to get over is actually that i used to be so energetic , had to constantly be busy but adding not being able to go out rockhounding makes it so much worse. i swear i sometimes dream of someone carrying me out to a place like that so i could at least look! lol

Early 70's, I'm 10 years old and spending the summer with grandpa. He was a consulting geological surveyor working the southwest, including the Moab area. The exact place this video was taken, I was there 50 years ago. My gem, rock, and mineral collection was booming, and I gathered a shoebox of excellent specimens from there. Flash forward ten years, and I'm moving the collection. I pulled the box off the shelf, and it was empty. Just a teaspoon of black dust was all that was left. The point is that Azurite and Malachite (the patina on copper) is a copper carbonate and can sublimate. Should of been airtight storage in hindsight.

[@crystalinedreams6039]

bummer big time. glad you posted though so that others can learn from your terrible experience.

[@D-train69]

So it just disappeared or evaporated?¿

[@BladeAddict8]

Oh no.... what a bummer! Good to know though. I never woulda thought that would be a thing.

[@jcarry5214]

How can you store them? Should they be in water or a vacuum bag or is a ziploc enough?

[@66tbird1]

@@jcarry5214 I don't know, air tight would be a start

Now this is the stuff that I would love 💕!!! I love the color blue and these are beautiful! You found some beautiful stuff and that piece found at the end was breathtaking! I loved the color of it. Thanks for this video! This is definitely on my bucket list! 😄💙🐬

[@annakeye]

Thanks so much for sharing these with us. The large blueberry with the black hæmatite specks at 9:57 made me think of a model of good ol' planet Earth. Definitely my favorite of the day, though of course 14:48 onwards, the cluster is just so beautiful. That blue is just phenomenal.

[@trumpatier]

I thought the same! I'd call it an azurite globe :D

Oh my gosh how cute are they?? What a fun trip, thanks so much for sharing!

Yay!!! I was wondering about you yesterday. I was out at Haunted Ridge yesterday realized it had been a minute since I saw one of your videos. No judgement lol making videos is hard work and there’s never enough time. Great stuff! Safe travels Bryan

[@karenmassie1239]

This one makes me want to go there on vacation. I love malachite and azurite. Those two together are amazing.👍🏻😊

[@rjay7019]

Even if you don't get any azurite you won't be disappointed Utah's a beautiful state. And Moab has many special memories for me. I wish I had known about this place last time I was there. I broke down and ended up spending four days waiting for a part 😀 walked all over town.

I always keep mine in a locked glass care along with my other potentially dangerous for children and pets. Whether it be potentially mistaken for food or medicine, choking risk size, toxicity or slight radiation risk.

I found about 20 1-2 in diameter geodes at the Grand Wash in Utah in Capital Reef. Real easy to spot them on the trial and they have beautiful microquartz cavities. Some have cool volcanic ash in them but the coolest are the dogtooth calcite crystal geodes you can find. Utah is awesome

I would think that instead of throwing them all into that cup there you would have keep the best crystallized blueberry separate from the other so they would not get damaged.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I've also been an avid aquarist fresh and salt water....always check for potential toxicity risk before adding rocks you've found into your tanks. As the rocks react with water some chemicals leach out that can kill fish and plants. Always check online or with a seasoned aquarist to be safe.

Just a thought, I wonder how beautiful these would look if they were tumbled in a sand to smooth them out around the sides. You could so easily get even small ones tumble them and then make beads from them. People would awestruck at the beauty of them.

[@carriekeith2266]

My ADHD would torment me to no end, trying to decide which ones to keep, and the need to keep looking. It's probably a good thing I live in Florida. I would be out endlessly looking, just for the "discovery" high! I never knew any of this existed.

[@airfona]

Probably a dumb question, but how do they get so perfectly round? Close to perfect anyway? I love azurite but have never done any collecting or mining. Looking forward to an answer from someone! Thank you.

[@trumpatier]

Very good question. I'd imagine they started as bubbles in lava or something, which then filled with a copper-rich water over time and crystalized. But that's just a guess.
