AZURITE with MALACHITE

SPECIMEN DESCRIPTION

Beautiful rich, deep royal blue Azurite, highlighted with bright neon blue bladed Azurite crystals form as aggregated clusters over botryoidal emerald green Malachite. This large miniature, measuring 6 cm long, is from the historic Bisbee copper mining district in Cochise County, Arizona, USA. The Azurite clusters have a foliated habit because of extensive parallel growth. The underside displays bright green radial Malachite crystals which add to the allure of this fine specimen.
