Azurite

Azurite: The Blue of Antiquity

Known for its intense deep-blue color, azurite has captivated artists, scholars, and collectors since the pre-classical era. In ancient Egypt, azurite was mined in Sinai and used as a pigment in ritual and artistic applications. Mesopotamian texts describe the use of special mortars and pestles to grind the mineral, and ancient glassmakers were among the first to fuse azurite into decorative forms.

While it was not widely used in Roman frescoes, Roman scholars documented its value as a pigment and ornamental stone—testament to its lasting impression through early civilizations.
