Description

Beautiful and excellent example of unusual geodes of azurite with contrasting green crystals of olivenite in them! The piece is one of the best examples that I have had from the 2012 find in Christiana that dazzled the local collectors for the beaty and rare, unusual formation and combination! As with all specimens from this fixed-price page, there is a video of this specimen available so please contact me to send you the link.
