Nestled in a vug of limonite are a cluster of short prismatic, parallel growth azurite crystals which exhibit great luster rand a rich blue color. The crystals reach over 1.0 cm across and crystal edge highlights of neon blue sparkle at the viewer. This is a very showy azurite style in that the crystals have the best luster on their tips and sparkle like metallic glass. Ex. Charlie Key.
