Azurite pseudomorphing to Malachite

Item Description

A beautiful combination / association specimen from the classic contemporary Mipillas Mine. This locality has produced some of the finest quality Azurite crystals in the history of mineral collecting. This large miniature / small cabinet features a semi-"rosette"-esque group comprising very sharp, highly lustrous, deep royal blue color bladed Azurites which are partially pseudomorphing into rich green Malachite with a slick adamatine luster. The piece is actually crystallized on all sides, with only a tiny bit of attached Limonite on one corner. VERY little damage and incredibly showy. Hard to photograph, but great quality in person. Priced at $1,400 in the inventory.
