Description

The photos don't do justice on this exceptional Greek azurite. The find it comes from (Summer, 2017) yielded undoubtly the best Greek azurites to date. We have never seen such crystals from Greece before and that was a pleasant shock. This is a great example with several gemmy and highly lustrous crystals on a gossan matrix, very aesthetic if displayed properly.
