"For me, music is the key that opens the door to God realization. Music stirs in me the highest, most exalted epiphany. It's that moment when my hairs stand on end, as I discover that one note, melody, or chord which reminds me once again there is something greater than what we see and hear on this terrestrial plane."
-Stephen Rivera.
AZURITE, blue mineral with the formula Cu3(OH)2(CO 3)2. It is often associated with the green
mineral malachite, Cu2(OH)2CO3. Both are basic carbonates of copper and are formed by the
alteration of copper sulphide minerals. The most important deposits of azurite and malachite occur
at Chessy, near Lyon, in France; in the Ural Mountains of Russia; in Australia; and in Arizona in
the United States. Their hardness is 3.5 to 4; azurite's specific gravity is 3.8, malachite's is 4.0.
Azurite and malachite have been used as pigments; when ground, azurite yields blue verditer, and
malachite, green verditer. Both minerals have a fine vitreous luster, and when properly polished they
are highly ornamental. Since ancient times they have been used widely as gemstones.
"After silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
-Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
"Music is prophecy: its styles and economic organisation are ahead of the rest of society because it explores, much faster than material reality can, the entire range of possibilities in a given code. It makes audible the new world that will gradually become visible." --Jacques Atalli: Noise (1977)
