Item Description
A very rare, fine and showy small cabinet specimen is from an old and little-known locality - Sierra Rica, Chihuahua, Mexico. Lustrous, midnight-blue azurite blades are richly aestheticaly strewn across the sculptural quartz matrix. The scattered "electric-blue" gemminess is striking under bright light. Excellent and rare material from this relatively unknown Chihuahua locale. Ex Don Boydston and Dave Stoudt Collections. Probably 1970s or 80s material. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Valued at $500 for quality and rarity.
