Item Description
Top-notch crystalline Azurite from a location that is known more for drusy Azurite, not fine distinct crystals like you have here. The largest Azurite is about 1.2 cm, and it sits in a pocket of dozens of smaller, equally beautiful Azurites. The deep blue color is radiant, and the luster superb. The Azurite shows great flashes of electric blue when illuminated. The pocket rests in a matrix of lovely, velvety Malachite. An excellent Azurite by most standards, and first-rate for this locality. Very aesthetic.
