Item Description
A striking and aesthetic, CABINET, azurite and malachite specimen from the Liufengshan Mine of China. A large vug filled with sparkling, spherical aggregates of dark azure-blue azurite crystals is beautifully framed by the contrasting banded, botryoidal malachite. Much of the azurite actually has the highly desirable, gemmy, "electric-blue" under strong light. This specimen truly resembles classic material from Bisbee, Arizona. Excellent material in this size range. Valued at $750-1000. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
