The ArkenstoneFeatured
A vivid blue, pristine, doubly-terminated sharp crystal of azurite is perched atop contrasting green matrix on this aesthetic small miniature from 2012-13 finds at Milpillas. The crystal is 2.7 x 1.1 x 1.3 cm in size, although it has a fancy "twist" to its growth that seems to make it look larger to the eye if you follow the slight curvature. An unusual dramatic geometric habit for Milpillas. Wayne and I were among the top importers of Milpillas material from 2008 or so; and partnered many deals. He later brokered many if not most of the best specimens and lots coming into the USA, which he purchased from the "Three Jesuses": Jesus, his son Jesus, and his son-in-law Jesus, in a huge pickup truck. This was from one of those deals around 2013-14, and kept since then in Wayne's personal collection of Miniatures/Thumbnails built with his daughter, Stevia. Although Milpillas produced many - thousands - of azurite specimens, this one still stands out in its style and size class, which is why he kept it. Laszlo Kupi photo.
