A pendant made with a material supplied to Soul Body Gems as a newer Neon Azurite find.

What the report found: Sample 1187 contains blue azurite and green malachite patches on a largely plagioclase matrix. The mounting is a high-silver sterling alloy.

The test identifies the submitted pendant's minerals; the find history is supplied sourcing information.

Understanding the report figures

Use this guide alongside the written findings and the original report transcript. It explains the purpose of each analytical figure and preserves the laboratory’s own figure labels. The interpretations apply to the tested specimen; signals alone do not establish the identity of every similar-looking stone.

Electron microscope image: This view shows small-scale regions selected for analysis. Its brightness contrast helps distinguish regions with different compositions; it is not a photograph of their natural colors. Numbered spots connect this view to the analyses listed in the report.
Laboratory figure caption: Fig.2: Backscattered electron image of an area of the specimen.
Elemental spectrum: The peaks record characteristic X-ray signals from elements in the analyzed spot or area. This is an analysis of that location, not automatically of the entire specimen. Any mineral identification or uncertainty named in the laboratory caption is retained below.

Summary of findings: This specimens (Fig. 1) is pretty. The green patches (Fig. 1) are malachite (Figs. 2, 3 and 8). The
blue patches (Fig. 1) are azurite (Figs. 2, 4 and 8). Both are copper hydroxide (hydroxyl) carbonates. The brownish
matrix is mainly plagioclase (Figs. 2 and 5). The X-ray map shows the elemental distribution well (Fig. 8). The mounting is
a high silver sterling silver (97 % silver, 3 % copper).
