Item Description

Four intergrown rosettes form an exceptional, pristine, world-class floater azurite small cabinet from the 1980s finds at this extinct copper mine. The lustrous, chisel-pointed blocky crystals reach 1.0 cm. The bit of malachite is a super accent. The crystals are a uniform azure-blue, but crystal face reflectivity under light makes these faces appear darker during photography. Ex Dr. Steve Smale Collection.
