Azurite is an inorganic pigment commonly used in traditional painting arts and even today. This pigment has two types: natural azurite and synthetic artificial azurite, called blue verditer or blue bice. Because they have the same structure and similar appearance they are difficult to distinguish. The purpose of this study is to compare these two types pigments, focusing on material properties and accelerated weathering behavior. Natural azurite consist of copper carbonate and mineral compounds like quartz, kaolinite. On the other hand, artificial azurites are synthesized using azurite and calcite. As a result of thermal analysis, unlike natural azurite, the calcite in artificial azurite resulted in weight loss at three temperatures, at approximately 350 ℃, 650 ℃, and 840 ℃. According to the microscope analysis results, natural azurites have clearly blue angular particles with sharp edges, produced by crushing. Artificial azurite showed spherules and aggregates with tiny rounded or fibrous particles. After accelerated weathering tests, the natural azurites had no change in color, particle shape or original components, but the artificial azurites noticeably changed color and shape. The color changes of artificial azurites occurred due to the growth of calcite crystallite, a slight new product formation, and change in particle shape. Even though natural azurites are more expensive pigments, they provide superior color durability and particle shape stability compared to artificial azurites.
