Item Description
A large pocket, of unusually glassy, bright, sparkling azurite crystals with INTENSE BLUE COLOR. This is about the flashiest Morenci piece for overall sparkle and luster I have seen...and in fact would be doubtful of its origin if from anybody else. I did have it checked by Arizona collector Les Presmyk who confirmed it, though. Surprise to me! It is MUCH more impressive in person, and the crystals are little jewels! Valued $750-1000. From the well known Tucson collection of 40-year collector, Harold Urish.
