From this old classic locale, this is a REALLY unusual, two-toned azurite specimen that looks like a bicolored blue armadillo. It is remarkably undamaged and complete on both sides, with fat crystals like "plates" in spokes, radiating out. It is very robust and 3-dimensional. The coloration is a contrast like none other I have seen from here. As I said, it is complete all around, front and back, even on the part of the bottom where the knobby ball-shaped end terminates - with just a small contact to the side of it, on the underside. Classic old material from the collection of the late Howard Belsky
