Item Description

Two beautiful royal-blue azurite "suns", to 4.0 cm, are aesthetically set atop the sculptural large, layered, multi-hued, fine-grained sandstone to siltstone matrix. The striking, flattened, layered rosettes are highlighted by the crystallized interiors. Two malachite "mini-suns" are a fine accessory and contrast. The suns form between the layers of the matrix. The aggregates were forced to grow in a laterally compressed, radiating pattern. Not another azurite locality in the world produces them quite like this. A sculptural and excellent large combination matrix piece, valued $1000-1500. This is a particularly good piece, purchased in a deal from the miner a few years ago.
