Azurite on Malachite (classic material)

Item Description

A classic association specimen from the New Nevada Claim in Utah featuring a few "roses" comprising very sharp, highly lustrous, bladed crystals of deep blue Azurite sitting atop green Malachite matrix. The largest "rose" measures 1.6 cm across. A very good example of these classic and now very hard to find Azurites. Very showy and better quality I think in person than the video might convey. The La Sal area in southeastern Utah is renowned for producing some of the most attractive Azurite "roses" for any US locality outside of Arizona. These beautiful and fine quality specimens are some of the most well-known minerals from any Utah locality for their excellent size, color, luster and quality, and when they are at their best, they are quite striking.
