Item Description
Sharp and attractive, this is a fine pseudomorph of Copper after Azurite. The rosette of Azurite was well-defined, and the Copper retained the habit very well when the alteration and replacement occurred. On top of that, the rosette formed on both sides, creating an aesthetic piece in both directions. Even better in person. These are unique and immediately recognizable old classics, and this is a SUPERB thubmnail example from this locality. It is sharp, when most are so worn down. valued $400-500
