Description

A wonderful and really exceptional thumbnail in outstanding quality. The azurite is developed as half-geode with highly lustrous, sharp terminated and crazy blue crystals inside. This half-geode is hold by a thin matrix - like one of these old terrestrial globes. It looks nice on the photos, but will be even much better in person. For sure an unique, spectacular piece and in excellent condition damage-wise.
