Azurite on Malachite

Item Description

Scintillating, navy-blue, bladed rosettes of azurite crystals with highly desirable "electric-blue" gemminess fill the interior of this sculptural vug in malachite on this nifty miniature from recent finds at this well-known mine. Periphery wear is noted around the vug, but this remains a showy and highly representative example. There are more azurites on the back. 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!!
