Description:This was a real surprise to me! Kelly Mine is noted for smithsonite, and to a lesser degree aurichalcite. Primary azurite is actually very , very rare here, and this would be considered a large specimen. Aside from that rarity value, this is simply a beautiful thin plate of azurite from any locale, with super-sparkling, sugary , small crystals completely covering the piece. Valued $400
