Item Description
Azurite specimens are rare from the famed Mina Ojuela. This outstanding piece is from the very best find of a few flats in 1999 (Mineralogical Record 2003 Ojuela Special Issue). Tiny, scintillating, gemmy, electric-blue azurite crystals along with a few, fantastic, gem-like, transparent calcite rhombs cover much of the segmented gossan matrix coated with corsage-like aggregates of rich green conichalcite blades. Exceptionally fine and rare combination material from this singular find. Valued at $750 and very seldom on the market.
