Azurite & Malachite (rare Alaska) ex Cilen and Johnson Coll.

Item Description

Azurite and malachite specimens are very rare and are rarely available from the many copper mines and prospects of Valdez-Cordova Bourough, Alaska. Most mining activity took place prior to World War II and in many cases, around World War I. This old-time, showy and rich specimen is essentially sold azurite and malachite, with only a bit of greenstone matrix. Ex. J. Cilen Collection, # 7836, and Ted Johnson Collections. The Cilen Collection was very large, as we have auctioned off Cilen specimens with a catalogue number of 11,441.
