Item Description
A beautiful carpet of lustrous, rich royal-blue, azurite blades lines the undulating vug on this very fine specimen from recent finds at the Liufengshan Mine. Very, very few specimens from this find had azurites of this particular style, quality and color. The three botryoids of velvet malachite are a super accent. Eyecatching and choice material, comparing very favorably to the best from Bisbee. High praise. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
