Doubly terminated Azurite xl (Dr. Gary Hansen Coll.)

Item Description

A beautiful, highly lustrous, doubly terminated azurite crystal with striking "electric-blue" highlights and nifty malachite accents from the famous 1970s-early 1980s finds at Touissit. SHARP specimen! The riveting doubly terminated crystal is essentially pristine. Dr. Gary Hansen priced this outstanding classic example at $700 in the early 1980s -- expensive even at the time they were coming out on the contemporary market, as a show of faith in its relative quality! Valued today at $1500-1800 for quality and super-luster.
