Description

Here is a beautiful vivid-blue Greek azurite. The piece comes from a find that was made back in 2012, in the Christiana, the second best find of Greek azurite in my years second only to the one of 2017. Those pieces are different and this particular one shows a robust azure-blue color and is a complete-all-around floater. Nothing equal (of this style) has been found since 2012.
