Item Description

These scintillating, gem, electric-blue, azurite microcrystals compare with the best from anywhere, including Tsumeb, Touissit, Bisbee, Zacatecas or the Milpillas Mine. But this an old-timer from the historic mines of the Banat Mountains. The color saturation and gemminess of the multitude of crystals is off the charts. From an old European Collection, supported by the faded typewritten German label dating to the late 1800s or early 1900s. RARE on the market in this quality. Valued at $400-500 for size, rarity, and very neat old label.
