Item Description
An elegant and colorful azurite and malachite combination from this now-famous mine. A 1.5 cm, sharp, lozenge-shaped, highly lustrous navy-blue azurite crystal is very aesthetically set on the sculptural elongated matrix. The pristine crystal has the glorious "electric-blue" color under bright light, that the mine is renowned for. Patches of primary malachite needles and crusts of black iron oxides on the contrasting white dickite clay-coated porphyry matrix add striking color and pizzazz to this classic and desirable combination. This fine cutie has multiple display views.
