Description

This fine specimen features two relatively large, deep blue crystals of Azurite, intergrown with Mottramite-bearing matrix. The Azurite is well developed, sharp edged and highly lustrous as well. There is a distinctive striation on the prism faces and so far I can see, there is no imperfection worth to mention.
