Item Description

A very impressive, 3-sided, azurite and malachite specimen from China. The sculptural, matrix of banded azurite and malachite hold numerous striking vugs filled with scintillating, royal-blue to navy-blue, azurite crystals with stunning "electric-blue" gemmy highlights. Visually, this is certainly one of the most imposing larger specimens, that we have offered from the Liufengshan Mine. The azurite crystal quality is top-flight and compares to the best Bisbee material. Valued at $750. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! The camera couldn't capture the gemminess of these crysals.
