Item Description
A really nifty 1.3 cm cluster of brilliant luster, gemmy "electric-blue", azurite crystals is very jauntily perched atop starkly contrasting vuggy gossan matrix lined with very light powder-blue to white, bubbly chrysocolla and a bit of malachite. A bit of bruising, mostly on the backside of the azurites is noted. This remains a very aesthetic and striking specimen from the famous Morenci Mine. Ex Harold Urish Collection # 581 and valued at $250. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
