Azurite concretions on Malachite (ex Gary Weaver Collection)

Item Description

A wonderful association specimen of Azurite on Malachite from this now defunct locality. The piece hosts many beautiful blue spherical concretions of Azurite measuring up to 1.5 cm across which are covering both sides of a thin layer of medium green Malachite wedged in the middle. I have seen very little of this material on the market lately, and the area which produced these specimens was completely mined out, so don't miss out on this beauty. From the collection of Gary Weaver (1944-2019), an electrical engineer who worked for Hughes Aircraft in California. After retiring to Prescott, Arizona in the early 2000s, Gary rekindled his childhood love of minerals, amassing a collection of roughly 2000 specimens, focusing on localities in which he and his wife had lived or visited (Mexico, Peru and the western / southwestern United States).
