Item Description
A fine quality and really attractive / showy display specimen of beautiful, sharp, lustrous, rich blue colored monoclinic prisms of Azurite which have partially altered to lovely green Malachite to create a fantastic and eye-catching thumbnail specimen from this famous locality in Morocco. No real damage that I can see with the naked eye, and look at how the color really comes through when backlit. It's a great thumbnail for anybody who collects copper minerals, secondary ore minerals or Moroccan minerals. Don't miss out on this one, better in person than the photos might suggest.
