Item Description
Highly lustrous, translucent, azurite crystals, to 2.0 cm, have gorgeous, rich "electric-blue" color under bright light. The azurites richly cover the mounded matrix and are accented with a bit of malachite. Showy, highly representative material from a New Find at this less well-known gold and copper mine in Laos. Actually, I saw these start to trickle out a few years ago. Many came to the market in China, but of lower quality. They remain scarce for now.
