Azurite (excellent quality crystals)

Item Description

The modern age of the mineral collecting provided collectors with some of the finest Azurites ever known from the Milpillas Mine. We have been told that the oxidation zone at the mine is finished, and these Azurites may never be seen again. In the not too distant future, people will look back on the Milpillas "boom" as one of the great times for mineral specimen production. Here we have a lovely miniature display specimen of Azurite featuring excellent quality, razor-sharp, incredibly lustrous, intense midnight blue color bladed crystals measuring up to 2.7 cm with very minor associated matrix. Some crystals are slightly gemmy near the edges when backlit, showing an electric indigo color. No major damage anywhere, just a few tiny nicks that I can see with a loupe. Priced at $950 for superior quality, aesthetics and size of the crystals.. If you missed out on these, don't pass up a chance to get a good quality specimen of this fast-disappearing material for a great price.
