Item Description
Mineral specimens from this obscure former small underground Cu-Ag-Au gold mine are seldom on the market and this is an extremely rare and very nifty pseudomorph. Sparkly spherical aggregates of azure-blue azurite crystals have pseudomorphed a fabulous and pristine pair of V-twinned calcite scalenohedrons jauntily set on the azurite matrix. Rare and choice material from the Harold Urish Collection and was a 1992 Christmas gift from Dave Tribble.
