Description

Azurite
Morenci Mine, Morenci, Greenlee County, Arizona, USA
15 x 12 x 11 cm (5.91 x 4.72 x 4.33 in)

A colorful, picturesque display of petite, perfectly-rounded Azurite botryoides presented across a dark grey matrix. The Azurite's vibrant blue color commands most of the specimen and is nicely offset by interspersed, rounded clusters of dark grey Goethite and a minor spread of velvety green Malachite over one of the corners. While not as colorful as its front, the back side of the specimen shows a layer of dark grey to brown Goethite botryoides with isolated groups of Malachite. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.

More Information: This piece is in excellent condition.
