Description

This fine and contrastful Austrian classic features two sparkly deep blue, botryoidal crystal aggregates of azurite, perched on  lustrous milky quartz. The azurite is well developed as well, the single crystals are sharp edged and highly lustrous. So far I can see, the two azurite spheres are pristine. Ex Joachim Hennrich collection,- one of the most picky collectors in Germany I knew.
