Description

We have only seen this incredible quality of azurite from Greece once, back in 2017. Those are modern Greek classics and extremely rare. This is a fine example that shows the crystal size and quality of the find. For those who are knowledgeable about Lavrion minerals and especially older collectors those azurites were a miracle for Greece.
