Azurite (excellent quality)

Item Description

The famous Milpillas Mine has been the source of some of the finest crystallized Azurite specimens ever found. No specimens of note have come out in a few years, as the oxidized zone is mined through, and it's nearly certain that no more significant specimens will be found again. This fantastic miniature specimen features a stellar quality, highly lustrous, razor-sharp, deep midnight blue colored crystal group of Azurite measuring 2.8 cm long beautifully sitting in the center of the white Dickite covered matrix. The balance, aesthetics, superior quality and overall visual appeal of the piece make it a really impressive example of these already top-notch Azurites. There are a few nicks on the Azurite group, so it's not 100% pristine, but it's still an incredibly eye-catching display specimen and would make a fine addition to any collection of Azurites, secondary ore minerals or Mexican minerals. These specimens are becoming hard to find on the market, and are certainly increasing in value, as I'm sure some of you noticed at the Tucson Show a couple weeks ago. Priced in our inventory at $4,500.
