Item Description
The famous Blue Grotto Mine (Prospect) in Utah is renowned for producing some of the most attractive Azurite "roses" for any US locality outside of Arizona. These beautiful specimens are some of the most well-known minerals from any Utah locality for their excellent size, color, luster and quality. This piece is a particularly attractive and fine quality large miniature / small cabinet featuring very good sized "rose" group comprising sharp, lustrous, bladed crystals of Azurite associated with minor green Malachite on matrix. No real damage of note on the display side, and a fantastic miniature of these classic and now very hard to find Azurites. For reference, this locality was mined out in the 1980s, so no more will be found like this. Valued at $1,500. From the collection of Brian Kosnar.
