Item Description

An impressive, sculptural and colorful large multi-generational azurite on malachite from this well-known Chinese mine. The striking front hosts a large 7.4 cm, rolling 3-dimensional vug totally lined with sparkly royal-blue microcrystalline azurite crystals. An artistic segmented vug on the top of the back of the colorful sculptural multi-generational malachite matrix is lined with scintillating navy-blue azurite crystals, that "glow" with electric-blue color under bright light and complementary malachite botryoids. A side face is richly covered with what appears to be 3 generations of azurite crystals, including a patch of teal-blue crystals in the middle. A fascinating, very rich and excellent large 3-sided azurite and malachite from the locale.
