On a sliver of matrix, is a cluster of diverging azurite crystals, to 4.5 cm in length, some doubly terminated. All are extremely lustrous, even gemmy, with a rich blue color that is more obvious in person. This is truly a specimen with great eye appeal. There is only one crystal that has been contacted, in the upper right hand corner; and one slight break to the rear of the leftmost and smallest crystal. But this pales in significance with the overall beauty of the specimen and otherwise it is complete all around. I think it is a steal at 4k...as you will, in person, if you see it. The piece is so lustrous, and so vividly brilliant, it looks wet. You just cannot GET such quality anymore in a Morocco azurite!
