Item Description

A gorgeous intense azurite from an unusual locale! Divergent, rich blue crystals have formed a nearly spherical ball of azurite which is lustrous and is a complete floater with no visible point of attachment. This azurite ball is also unusually dense. It is a subtly different style, and comes from a locality given to me by a mining engineer working in Africa (from whom I bought these directly at a trade show) as "small prospect near Kakanda." James Zigras collection. Donated by The Arkenstone for the MINDAT benefit auction
