Azurite and Malachite (classic locale)

Item Description

Rich royal-blue, lustrous aggregates of sharp azurite crystals cover the undulating malachite matrix on this very showy, colorful and excellent old-timer from the famous Copper Queen Mine at Bisbee. The crystals have fine "electric-blue" color under bright light. The three spots of noted bruising are certainly only a modest detraction to this rich large classic, that probably dates to prior to World War I. Valued by the former dealer at $600.
