Copper pseudomorph after Azurite (classic material)

Item Description

These are some of the most iconic pseudomorphs from anywhere in the southwestern US. The bladed crystals that once were Azurite are very discernible, but have been replaced by native Copper. The lovely patina gives with a beautiful overall appearance. The oxidation color of green helps bring all of the facets of this specimen into focus. These complete floaters are quite rare today, and were found in the 1940s through 1950s I am told. To the best of my knowledge these pieces are unique in their aspect, form, and size compared to other Azurite pseudomorphs.
