Item Description

Highly lustrous, sharp navy-blue azurite blades, to 1.0 cm, and malachite pseudomorphs after azurite blades fill a vug in sculptural matrix on this cute combination miniature from the famous mines at Bisbee. The azurites glow with electric-blue color under bright light. Classic, probably older, Bisbee combination material from the Ted Bartels Collection. The piece displays well from two directions.
