Item Description
Splendent, deep azure-blue, azurite blades with with LOTS of striking "electric-blue" gemminess on the starkly contrasting malachite crust form an outstanding and very aesthetic miniature from the recent finds at the Milpillas Mine. The impressive, large doubly terminated crystal is 3.0 cm. This superb cutie is nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of edgewear to the large crystal. Valued at $400-600. For the size, this is really good and it displays beautifully from several angles.
