A 2.5cm intense deep blue, lusterous azurite crystal resides on a bed of doubly terminated malachite pseudomorphs after after azurite.

There is a contact area on the back of the azurite where it grew into the cavity wall, as can be seen by the photographs this in no way distracts from the overall beauty of this specimen.
