Azurite is found in the same geologic settings as its sister mineral, malachite, though it is usually less abundant. Both minerals occur widely as [[supergene (geology)|supergene]] copper minerals, formed in the [[oxidized]] zone of copper ore deposits. Here they are associated with [[cuprite]], [[native copper]], and various [[iron oxide]] minerals.<ref name=HurlbutKlein/>

Fine specimens can be found at many locations. Among the best specimens are found at [[Bisbee, Arizona]], and nearby locations, and have included clusters of crystals several inches long and spherical aggregates and rosettes up to {{convert|2|in||sp=us}} in diameter. Similar rosettes are found at [[Chessy, Rhône]], France. The best crystals, up to {{convert|10|in||sp=us}} in length, are found at [[Tsumeb]], [[Namibia]]. Other notable occurrences are in [[Utah]]; [[Mexico]]; the [[Ural Mountains|Ural]] and [[Altai Mountains]]; [[Sardinia]]; [[Mines of Laurion|Laurion, Greece]]; [[Wallaroo, South Australia]]; Brazil and [[Broken Hill]].<ref name=Sinkankas/>
