Item Description
Stunning, sparkly, rich royal-blue, bladed azurite rosettes richly cover the quartz-rich rhyolite matrix on this showy and excellent, 3-dimensional, old-timer from the famous Morenci Mine. The contrasting crust of green malachite is a super accent. The rich and bright color on these rosettes must be seen to be believed. The primary display view is pristine, as the periphery wear is out of sight. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
