Description

I must note that such a size and quality of azurite crystals has never been seen before from Lavrion! This specimen comes from a recent find and hosts thin, sharp, highly lustrous blades of azurite on gossan matrix. With some additional light on the specimen the crystal glow in an electric blue color. There is obvious damage on the specimen, as there is sadly on nearly all specimens from this find. But it is what it is, an unbelievable quality azurite from a locality that is known for tiny little crystals at best.
