Item Description

An unusual and sculptural rich small cabinet azurite combination specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee. A striking 5 mm to 1.3 cm tall gossan matrix "wall" separates dense azurite crystal coverage from a larger area with far fewer azurites nicely accented with green malachite botryoids. The sparkly spherical aggregates of navy-blue azurite crystals GLOW with electric-blue color under bright light! Classic, very showy and desirable older material, probably dating to prior to World War II and could be much older.
