A very nice arrangement of sharp undamaged azurite rosettes on a malachite matrix with fibrous crystallization. The color contrast and arrangement of the specimen are great. Nice luster all around, and in good condition. This was collected by Mel Bersch likely before any commercial mining was taking place at this locality. As is often the case, the best specimens found here were those that were found early on. Ex. Mel Bersch, Collected 1977
