Item Description

A wonderful specimen featuring fine Azurite crystals on matrix from the famous Milpillas Mine in Mexico. This world-class locality is now finished in terms of the specimen production in the oxidized zone, so there will be no more Azurite specimens found again. This piece features many excellent, quality, sharp, rather lustrous, deep blue, bladed crystals of Azurite measuring up to 8 mm associated with minor green Malachite, beautifully set on matrix. The piece is in good condition overall, as most of the crystals are undamaged. When backlit, the Azurites show decent gemminess, with vivid indigo hues. Don't miss out on getting your hands on these specimens now because they are unquestionably some of the finest examples of the species ever found. Top pieces rank among the best Azurites from places like Tsumeb, Touissit or Bisbee.
