Item Description
Scintillating, tiny, dark navy-blue azurite crystals line the rolling sculptural vug on this impressive large piece from this less well-known Chinese mine. The crystals glow with electric-blue color under bright light. The hole, bright royal-blue pods and vein and banded malachite on the fringe add color and pizzazz. The 5.0 cm azurite-lined vug on the back is a nice bonus. Specimens of this quality came out about ten years ago and are uncommon. An excellent large example with several possible display views.
