A precision sliced and expertly polished specimen of azurite/malachite in natural ore rock, from one of the Chinese locations where you do not often see material produced for lapidary-quality carvings. Polished, and from the private collection of master lapidary Bud Standley, who specializes in working with copper minerals. A native of Arizona, lapidary artist Bud Standley grew up near the copper mines. He learned to carve gemstones in 1971, at age 19; and did all the work for the Larson family when they obtained the Ben Williams Bisbee collection; and also for Wayne Thompson with Morenci azurite. I purchased this on sight, as I thought it makes such an interesting comparison to specimens; and of course it is just beautiful.
