Item Description

A classic pseudo-"rosette" of Azurite from this lesser known locality for the material in New Mexico. My research tells me that some excellent specimens came out about 25 years ago, and very little since. The piece is in excellent condition all the way around, and has the classic rich blue color, sharp crystal faces and excellent luster for which these pieces are known. A great quality thumbnail to be sure. If you're a thumbnail collector, or if you collect Azurite or even minerals of New Mexico, don't miss out on this one.
