Item Description
Azurite specimens from this small, obscure older Mexican locality are very uncommon and are seldom on the market. However, the crystal quality is very high and this is a rich and excellent example. Sharp, scintillating, navy-blue crystals, to about 8 mm, cover the drusy quartz matrix crust, which includes sections of two quartz crystals on the lower right. The crystal have gorgeous flashes of "electric-blue" color under bright light. Ex Irv Michelson and Dave Stoudt Collections.
