This is a great crystal of Azurite: no dings, no damage, and no repairs. This highly lustrous crystal sits in a matrix of Anglesite! The smaller partial crystal in front actually sits on a Cerussite cyclic twin, and there are small crystals near the termination that may be pink Cerussite. This specimen has a lot of bang for the buck. Purchased from the Zweibels in 1980
