Azurite and Smithsonite (uncommon) ex D. Trinchillo Sr. Coll.

Item Description

Azurite with smithsonite is an uncommon combination from the famous mines at Touissit, Morocco. This showy and sculptural piece features a mound of colorless to lightly tinted, complex smithsonite rhombs richly and attractively accompanied by highly lustrous, midnight-blue azurite blades with hints of the famous "electric blue". The large azurite is 1.5 cm and the scattered malachite is a very nice accent to the azurite and smithsonite. The scattered periphery wear is a modest detraction to this rare and excellent combination specimen. Ex Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
