Item Description
Highly lustrous dark navy-blue to royal-blue wedge-shaped and lozenge-shaped azurite crystals are richly and aesthetically intergrown along with patches of complementary malachite on this sculptural and aesthetic small cabinet from recent finds at the famous Milpillas Mine. The large wedge-shaped crystal on the left side is 2.8 cm long. The crystals GLOW with "electric-blue" color under bright light. A modest bit of crystal bruising is noted on periphery, but certainly has minimal impact to the overall excellent quality of the piece. See the fine 2021 Milpillas Mineralogical Record article in Mexico Special Issue - IX, Vol. 52, No. 5. A fine example of the varietal. Valued at $3000-4000.
