Description

These beautiful azurites come from a recent find in Christiana mine. They represent the finest quality Greek azurite has ever shown with perfect luster, sharp crystals, wonderful electric-blue color, good translucency and great overall aesthetics. Sadly, the crystals are fragile so the specimens were removed by the miner with some damages. Still, these are the most impressive azurites I have ever seen from Greece.

Fine group with excellent luster and color. It is displayed upside down because the top has a little bit of matrix on it.
