Item Description
Two different styles and sizes of desirable, gemmy, "electric-blue", azurite crystals fills the two vugs on the very sculptural malachite matrix. The upper vug hosts larger, scintillating and gemmier crystals in spherical aggregates, with the elongated vug having a carpet of smaller crystals. These azurites compare favorably with the best from Bisbee. Very fine and showy material from recent Chinese finds. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
