Item Description
Mineral specimens are very uncommon from this well-known azurite locality. This fine rosette is comprised of extremely lustrous dark blue blades highlighted with scattered malachite and occasional malachite layers on some of the blades. It looks a lot like classic old Bisbee material, but in fact is from a much harder to obtain locale, down under. A bit of contacting has very negligible impact to the quality of this fine and rare piece. Ex Rolf Wein Collection, with matching numbers. Valued at $900-1000
