Item Description
A gorgeous and fine quality display specimen of this classic combo from Ajo featuring several excellent, well-formed, euhedral, sharp, blocky crystals of dark steel-blue colored Azurite measuring up to 1.2 cm across, which have an alluring partial coating of chatoyant green Malachite, sitting atop radial Malachite matrix. The piece is incredibly showy, and displays beautifully from several angles. No damage I can find on the display side. One of my favorite pieces in this set, a really choice Ajo specimen.
This piece belonged to Richard Hronik, and was a gift to George from his widow, Joyce in August of 2009.
Ex George Loud Collection No. 16.2.11 AZ.22; 8805. George (born August 16, 1942) is a well-known mineral collector from Washington, DC and South Carolina respectively, and was a patent lawyer by trade for over 50 years. He assembled one of the great mineral collections in the U.S., comprising worldwide specimens, and in later years he sold the worldwide specimens to focus on minerals of the United States, specifically locality suites with an emphasis on amazing representation of species while still maintaining fine quality. The specimens remarkably range from micros to all the way up to large cabinets in size. We recently acquired most of his impressive 9000+ piece collection, and the VAST majority of these pieces will be offered here in the auctions, as we feel that everyone deserves and equal opportunity at acquiring these important, well-documented and fine quality specimens for their collections.
