Description

That's a courious specimen showing 2 vugs with two different minerals at both sides. The left-hand vug shows some very attractice malachite-balls with a fine color. The second vug on the left-hand side contains intersive colored and beautiful crystallized azurite. I was attacted by this specimen from the first second, especially that both minerals are strictly seperated in the vugs. Very interesting!
