Azurite and Malachite (excellent) ex Whitmore Coll.

Item Description

Gorgeous rosettes of sparkly, deep azure-blue, azurite blades rich and very aesthetically cover the curved gossan crust on this dramatic and beautiful specimen from Bou Bekker. The bright green primary malchite is a splendid contrast. The back is totally covered with primary malachite making this a super, two-sided piece. The azurite blades actually have desirable "electric-blue" color under strong light! A bit of modest bruising is noted to one azurite rosette, but is certainly a modest detraction to this stunner. Older material from the late 1980s and not seen from here since that time. Valued $600 for size, quality and color impact. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
