Description

Azurite and Malachite
Milpillas Mine, Milpillas, Santa Cruz Municipality, Sonora, Mexico
5.8 x 4.4 x 2.8 cm (2.28 x 1.73 x 1.1 in)

A sculptural specimen of stunning Azurite crystals arranged into a deep, electric blue mountain side, aesthetically topped with a skewed column of velvety green, acicular Malachite. Almost all of the Malachite in the piece are primary growths, with the exception of a couple very minor points of alteration. This piece has a thin matrix mainly composed of white Kaolinite and host rock on the underside and rear view.

More Information: This piece is in great condition. There is some minor chatter on a couple of the crystals.
