Item Description
Simply put, this is one of the finest, most aesthetic Chinese azurite balls I've ever encountered. The color, symmetry, and luster are all superb. A pristine floater, with the large blocky crystals having beautiful electric-blue highlights under bright light. This compares very well with the best of Bisbee, La Sal or Chessy. These super pieces came out in the 1980s and 90s. Value today??
