Item Description

Scintillating, navy-blue azurite crystals with highly desirable "electric-blue" gemminess fill the interior of this sculptural, two-sided vug in malachite from recent finds at this well-known mine. Periphery wear is noted around the vug, but this remains a showy and highly representative example. These azurites compare favorably with the best from Bisbee. High praise and are commanding high prices, even from the Chinese dealers. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
