Item Description

A classic and really hard to find Azurite specimen from the Graphic Mine near the famous Smithsonite locality at Kelly. This piece features several fairly sharp, bladed, yet distinctly separated, sharp, well-formed, beautiful blue color crystals of Azurite on gossan matrix. Some minor associated mint green Malachite makes for a nice touch. If you're an Azurite collector, a secondary ore mineral collector, or somebody who likes to get their hands on hard to find minerals of the southwestern United States, don't pass this one up.
