Description

This superb quality is extremely rare for Lavrion and comes from a small find of 2017. The piece hosts a gemmy crystal of azurite partly covered with beautiful green brochantite and malachite. On a little bit of gossan matrix. Although a thumbnail, this is a major azurite specimen for the country that usually produces tiny little crystals.
