Item Description
An aesthetic and showy flattened "rose" of intergrown, bladed rosettes of large, shimmering, azure-blue to navy-blue azurite crystals from the well-known finds at the Morenci Mine. This fine ball has excellent form with large crystals and only modest contacting on two sides. Collected in 1997 from the 4850 Bench, according to the label. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! Classic material from this famous locale. Valued $300-400.
