Description

This is a magnificent Greek azurite. Those came out just once in 2017 and the finest Greek azurites to date. We had never seen such azurite crystals from Greece before. The find was small and most were immediately sold but this is one of the good ones that I stashed. So here is a highly lustrous, nearly gem azurite crystal with a little bit of malachite/brochantite near the base.

Please watch the Video as it shows the clarity and incredible color of the crystal.
