superb Azurite on Malachite (Hansen Coll.)

Item Description

A superb combination miniature from the early 1980s, with striking aesthetics! A 3.9 cm, sharp and lustrous, pristine azurite crystal is aesthetically set on the side of mounded, botryoidal, velvet malachite on this balanced and very fine specimen from Touissit. The tip of the adjacent, blocky crystal is contacted, but pristine. Both crystals have highly desirable electric-blue highlights and are partially pseudomorphed to malachite. A classic, high-grade, combination specimen from the Dr. Gary Hansen Collection and not seen since the early 1980s. Valued $900-1200
