Item Description
Splendent, deep azure-blue, azurite blades with with LOTS of striking "electric-blue" gemminess are nicely accented by the starkly contrasting malachite crust on this excellent miniature from the recent finds at the Milpillas Mine. The impressive, large multiply terminated crystal is 2.4 cm and the termination is complete all-around. This choice cutie is nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of edge wear to the large crystal. Valued at $300-400. For the size, this is really good.
