Item Description
A rare style and outstanding thumbnail example of the highly desirable copper pseudomorphs after azurite from this well-known New Mexico locale. Most pseudos from here are bladed rosettes, but this super piece is a single sharp, blocky crystal with a bit of attached matrix. The complete all-around and pristine pseudo has a fine lustrous patina. Exceptional and rare quality from the Harold Urish Collection and valued at $450.
