Azurite?

Since I was a kid, I've been picking up stones and the lure of mucking round the newly dug out Gorgeous Gorge in search of them has been too strong.  I've been lugging home various rocks each day and this one caught my eye because of it's color.  Might be azurite which is often associated w/ copper and there was a large deposit of copper in this county.  I've been meaning to work on mineral and rock identification.  Since the glaciers were nice enough to pick up lots of different kinds of  rocks and deposit them here, its the least I can do.
