However, someone will come along shortly to tell me that it is azure. |

Are you
azure about that?
That would be amazing, considering that (and I'm quoting from Geology "dot" com) "Azurite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral with a chemical composition of Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2. It is best known for its characteristic deep blue to violet-blue color. The blue color, known as 'azure,' is like the deep blue evening skies often seen above deserts and winter landscapes."
Furthermore, it's commonly known that "Azurite is not a common or abundant mineral, but it is beautiful and its blue color attracts attention. It has been used by people in many parts of the world for thousands of years. Ancient people used it as an ore of copper, as a pigment, as a gemstone, and as an ornamental stone. It is still used for all of these purposes today."
That's really out of the blue. As they used to say during the "Beat" era and the early 1960s, "Hey, I can dig it." But who's really all that self-azured anymore, in this far more ambiguous world? That's as far as my thinking takes me on this facet of the discussion.
Mineralogy 101: the characteristically blue "azure" color of azurite.Maybe "williegoat" was trying to say that it's azure thing? Or he was looking for closure and found azure instead?
