Azurite from Christiana Mine, Attica, Greece

The best Greek azurites to date were discovered in 2017. This is a fine example from the find with gem blades of lustrous azurite, associated with contrasting green malachite. As bonus, the matrix shows a pseudomorph of dark brown goethite after calcite. Neat. From my personal collection, #206.
