Item Description

A showy and excellent MATCHED pair of sliced and polished azurite and malachite nodules from an UNCOMMON locality for the species - Inyo County, California! Both nodules have an azurite rind. The azurite nodule has beautiful, multi-hued blue banding, reminiscent and equal to the quality of the well-known Bisbee nodules. The malachite interiors have an interesting floral look. Ex P. Kellinghausen of Elizabeth, New Jersey. Probably older pieces, but no proof. VERY RARELY AVAILABLE!! Value??? The last pair of these, that we offered at auction (not matched) sold for $338.
