Cut from a single nodule, this stunning geodic end cut displays nice form and superb coloration. This small but impactful specimen exhibits shades of rich saturated blue with various cavities of dark micro drusy Azurite crystals for added depth and effect. The juxtaposition between the outside and the polished face of the nodule adds another level of intrigue, and each side displays a different shade of blue with a spattering of white matrix.
