This starkly isolated blue azurite crystal measures about an inch across and is perched on a rare white matrix from this mine, like on a pedestal! It has the best color and luster and is complete all around 360 degrees, though with matrix slightly ingrown into the rear-left side (not shown anyways, from the front). As with most crystals from this deposit of small pockets mined by hand tools, there is a little damage... here just a very slight wear on the termination that unfortunately detracts a little bit, though in balance reduces the price a lot as well.
