Azurite with Malachite (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Years ago, there were many fine quality Azurite specimens from Concepcion del Oro, and they are now regarded as Mexican classics. These specimens are seldom seen on the market today, but they remain as some of the finest examples from Mexico. This small miniature specimen features sparkling groups of deep blue Azurite which are accented by velvety green botryoidal Malachite on matrix. Good quality, and very attractive up close. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#375). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
