Item Description
The best of Milpillas azurites are not a too-dark azure blue, nor a too light pastel blue, but this riveting almost electric-blue color. The color literally leaps out from a shelf in any lighting, but at its best in sunlight or LED. Several large key crystals (to approx. 2 cm) highlight a visually striking azurite specimen overall. There's some very very slight damage to the piece - as with most of them, if you look closely, but the color and aesthetics still combine to create a beautiful small cabinet piece. This is from the watercourse tunnel of around 2013 and was valued at the time at $5000-6000.
