Item Description

A beautiful and striking specimen from recent finds in China. Super sparkly pretty royal-blue and midnight-blue azurite botryoids are aesthetically strewn on the banded green malachite on massive malachite matrix. The quality of the azurite is outstanding. A bit of periphery wear is noted, but is a very modest detraction to this very bright specimen. Chinese azurites of this quality compare very favorably with Bisbee material. High praise. Valued at $400-600.
