Description |
Lustrous rhombohedral dark-blue Azurite crystals up to 9 mm with a large bladed-prismatic Azurite crystal 22 mm long on the top with some colorless Calcite crystals to 4 mm. Several of the Azurite crystals have partially altered to green Malachite. Though the crystals are clean and in good condition, a few edges show minute nicks upon close inspection, but they are minor compared to the relative size of the specimen.
