Item Description
A splendent, sharp, blocky, midnight-blue, azurite crystal has complex, multiple faces and zones of stunning "electric-blue" gemminess. This very nifty two-sided crystal has just a bit of periphery wear, as the attachment points were the white matrix. The smelter is converting to sulfide ore soon, indicating the oxide zone is about mined out. No more superb azurites and malachites will be forthcoming. Get a highly representative example of this varietal while you can! MUCH BETTER IN PERSON PERSON!
