Item Description
A beautiful, royal blue color nearly "floater" "rosette" of Azurite from the classic locality at Morenci. This area has produced some of the most attractive Azurite specimens from any locality in the world. Obviously, Bisbee is the premier Arizona locality for Azurite and Malachite association specimens, but Morenci produced some really eye-catching specimens over the years. This attractive "ball" is in great shape, with large crystals, and was collected in 1997 from the 4850 Bench, according to the label.
