Item Description

A beautiful association specimen from the Live Oak Pit inside the Inspiration Mine, near Globe, Arizona featuring attractive bladed crystals of what were once Azurite, which have pseudomorphed to "velvety" green Malachite, though a bit of stark blue Azurite is still present in certain spots, so it's not a complete pseudmorph. The largest individual crystal measures about 1.7 cm long. Minor bruising can be seen, but overall the piece presents well with that classic combo of green and blue for which Arizona is quite well-known.
Ex Les Presmyk / De Natura specimen.
