Superbly lustrous, blocky, deep royal-blue Azurite crystals up to 2.1 cm in length. The fabulous, striated luster is complemented beautifully by the electric blue fire that can be seen under good light. There is Malachite tucked among the crystals on the back. In all, there are about a half-dozen Azurites comprising this resplendent and aesthetic toenail.
