At large miniature size, this richly crystallized 'floater' spray of well-defined Azurite crystals is a really fine specimen for the Bluebird mine in the Globe-Miami Mining District in Gila County. Arizona. Never known as a large producer of good Azurite crystals, occasionally really superb clusters of glossy deep blue crystals appear in older collections. Indeed, the Bluebird mine open pit was active during the 1960s through until the early 1980s when it was incorporated within the larger Inspiration mine, suggesting that specimens must have been collected over 50 years ago. We don't see many specimens preserved from there, making this a very fine example for the collector of historic localities. Although there is some slight damage many of the crystals are very sharp and with their deep blue colour and fine resinous lustre they look really fine for an unusual locality. Ex Paul Matt.
