Item Description

Radial sprays of highly lustrous, navy-blue with royal-blue highlights, azurite crystals to about 7 mm are festooned on the undulating gossan matrix in nifty association with malachite pseudomorphs after sharp azurite crystals to 1.3 cm. A bit of periphery wear is noted, but is a minimal detraction. This is very showy, classic and rich combination material from the famous mines at Touissit, Morocco. Ex Tarnowski Collection.
