Azurite with Malachite

Item Description

This is a very attractive small cabinet display specimen of azurite with malachite from the prolific Liufengshan mine. The very sculptural vug features hundreds of sharp, lustrous and translucent, stunning royal-blue azurite blades which have formed in "rosette"-shaped aggregates and are beautifully complimented by a scattering of velvety botryoidal malachite. The color contrast is just beautiful and truly resembles classic material from Bisbee, Arizona. The specimen displays on its own as shown in the photo, and really draws one's attention. For a specimen of this size, it is very showy and is one of the better pieces in this size range that we have offered in the auctions in a while. These specimens are commanding high prices, even from the Chinese dealers. Valued at $600-700. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
