Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of azurite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts a pair of thick, chunky azurite crystals prominently
perched on a matrix covered calcite crystals!!! The azurite crystals have highly complex habits with razor sharp, glassy
faces, gemmy clarity, and rich blue color with lively flashes of royal blue within!!! In addition to the two large azurite crystals, there
are numerous smaller crystals present as well!!! The calcite crystals are lustrous and translucent with complexly modified
forms!!! The lightly colored calcite crystals provide an aesthetic background for the deeply colored azurite crystals!!!
Aside from some minor dings that are not very noticeable, this specimen is in overall terrific condition and displays magnificently in person!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 12th!!!
