Azurite is found in Jerome Arizona.The United Verde Mine, developed by William A. Clark, extracted ore bearing copper, gold, silver, and other metals from the larger of the two. The United Verde Extension (UVX Mine) owned by James Douglas Jr., depended on the other huge deposit. In total, the copper deposits discovered in the vicinity of Jerome were among the richest ever found.The azurite we are cutting was mined by Rincon Trading on 3 mining claims next to the State Mine Museum with a lease from UVX in 1995.
