Azurite (fine crystals)

Item Description

The world-famous Milpillas Azurites are certainly the best contemporary examples of the species out there. Amazingly, the mine only for a brief time yielded these fine quality examples, which feature some of the sharpest, most lustrous and deeply 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 matrix. The largest crystal measures 2.0 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. Valued $1,200.
