Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of azurite and malachite from Butte!!! While Butte was a prolific and mineral rich area, examples of azurite and malachite are
rather scarce from the region!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of royal blue azurite in association with green malachite, as well as some
intensely colored blue-green chrysocolla!!! Upon close inspection, small bladed crystals of azurite can be found in several areas!!! The
malachite is present in minor amounts throughout the matrix and in association with the azurite!!! This specimen retains
an old label from Earle C. Sullivan as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
