Azurite - fine, sharp XL

Item Description

Large, stout single crystal of deep blue Azurite with a truly stereotypical textbook form! The faces have very good luster and classic striations. An interesting effect is the sometimes tortuous etching that occurs on the faces and the termination. It adds a different character to the piece than most single azurite crystals have. Luckily, although there are not thousands of azurite singles from Milpillas on the market to make the species look common for a few years, none of them have this habit. THIS style, and habit, screams Tsumeb and remains unique and rare. Valued $1200-1500
