Item Description
Here we have a beautifully contrasting specimen consisting of very attractive, HIGHLY lustrous, sharp, deep navy blue color crystals of Azurite surrounded by a green ring of Malachite underneath the specimen. The luster is really fine on these Azurite crystals. The color contrast is just beautiful and truly resembles classic material from Bisbee, Arizona. The specimen displays well and really draws one's attention. For a specimen of this size, it is pretty showy and is one of the better pieces in this size range that I have offered in the auctions in a while. These specimens are commanding high prices, even from the Chinese dealers.
