Description

What a fantastic combination! Azurite is freestanding, it shows dark blue color and it consists of uncountable, glossy micro faces. It is attractively set on small matrix, which is partly covered by green-blue aragonite crystals. A very aesthetic, uncommon combination, should be high ranked for rarity and dramatic assemble. No significant damages to report.
