Description

Excellent Greek azurite from the Christiana mine, discovered in 2012. The piece hosts royal blue, well sized for the locality and lustrous crystals of azurite with a little bit of gossan matrix. I had the luck of buying the entire find back in 2012 and I can safely say that this is a fine example from it.
