Azurite

Item Description

A very attractive miniature display specimen of Azurite from the famous contemporary locality at the Milpillas Mine. This piece features fine, quality, sharp, very lustrous, deep blue color, blocky crystals of Azurite associated with very minor dark green Malachite on the front face of the piece. A couple of the Azurite crystals are actually slightly gemmy near the edges when backlit, showing a glowing indigo hue. There are a few minor rough spots, but no major damage that I can find on the front/display side of the piece. Retail value on this one is $950. A lot of Azurite you'll see, while beautiful and well-crystallized, does not have this kind of luster. Now that we're told the locality is finished producing this material, scoop these up while you can get them. They are truly some of the finest crystallized specimens of Azurite to come out of any locality in decades.
