Azurite (gemmy) on Malachite

Item Description

A classic display specimen of Azurite from the world famous locality of Touissit. A handful of deep azure blue bladed crystals with fantastic luster, razor-sharp faces and superb gemminess sit atop velvety green Malachite to make this miniature a really showy and fine quality specimens for the species and the locality. The piece is in great shape overall, and the main crystal in the center is undamaged, while the outer edges of the specimen are mostly damage free, save where the piece was removed from the pocket on the periphery. The largest crystal measures 1.6 cm long. When backlit, the crystals shows a bit of gemminess along the edges, and the color is so blue it's purple if that makes sense. A great piece to round out your Azurite suite, or even more specifically your collection of Azurites from Morocco. Priced at $1,850 in the inventory
