Azurite
Despite the flood of recent cuprites, copper, and even some silver from this mine, there have been surprisingly few examples of the generally more common copper carbonates such as azurite or malachite. This is a particularly nice, and very complete and colorful, example of azurite from this mine. The ball-shaped cluster is complete all around and pristine. It is the largest good example I saw from a small pocket released at Tucson of 2011, and held for me by one of my Russian sources before the show. The mining here is predicted to blast through the oxidation zone (from the bottom-up) within a year or so, making all these beauties a thing of the past. Joe Budd photos
