Description

A cluster of deep blue azurite rosettes collected in 1986, at the Boomerang Mine. The individual rosettes are comprised of twiined flattened blades of azurite.

The drought of 1986 meant that the watertable dropped sufficiently to allow access to a small rich zone that had been underwater since the 1930's
