Azurite (fine crystals)

Item Description

The world-famous Milpillas Azurite specimens are undoubtedly the best contemporary examples of the species on the market. The mine itself only for a brief time yielded these fine quality examples, which feature some of the sharpest, most lustrous and richly colored crystals of Azurite from any world locality. Sadly, the oxidized zone at this mine is gone, and there will likely never be another crumb of this material to come out of this prolific locality again. With that said, if you're a fan of Azurites or specifically these pieces from Milpillas, don't miss out on this attractive specimen, as they will be disappearing from the market fairly quickly. The piece is filled with excellent quality, very sharp, highly lustrous, intense midnight blue crystals of Azurite sitting on a thin layer of matrix. The largest crystal measures 1.3 cm The majority of the Azurite crystals are pristine, though there are a few tiny imperfections. The luster is very high for the species and that deep saturated color of the Azurite is a truly captivating. The crystals honestly look better in person than the video indicates. Valued $1,200.
