Item Description
Just a few years ago, there were a good amount of these world-class Azurites, but they now have dried up on the market. Unfortunately we have been told that the oxidation zone at the mine is finished, and these Azurites may never be seen again. It's unfortunate to see the disappearance of some of the best quality Azurite specimens to come out of any locality in decades. Here we have a lovely toenail sized piece featuring excellent quality, sharp, lustrous, deep blue crystals on minor matrix The largest individual Azurite measures 1.7 cm long. The underside of the piece actually shows a slight amount of green Malachite alteration. Very little damage and super high quality Azurites crystals. I love the fact that the specimen sits on its own and displays beautifully without the aid of a base or clay!
