Azurite

Item Description

Azurite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic and highly sought after species on the planet. These specimens are no longer being mined, and they have some of the most distinctive and attractive forms of any mineral. This piece features a few sharp, rich blue color, blocky/tabular crystals of Azurite which are aesthetically flaring off minor matrix. The largest crystal measures 1.2 cm, and when it's STRONGLY backlit, you can see a neon blue internal color. It's a very attractive thumbnail specimen, and good quality for this historic locality. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and this piece was priced at $400 in the inventory, so I'm sure it will end up being a great bargain for one fortunate bidder.
