Item Description
A sharp, highly lustrous, tabular, midnight-blue blue azurite crystal with "electric-blue" highlights on the edges on this showy thumbnail from recent finds at the Milpillas Mine of Mexico. A bit of edgewear is noted, but is a modest detraction. These gemmy azurites compare very favorably with the best from Touissit, Tsumeb or Zacatecas. High praise, indeed.
