This large, fat, very sharp and lustrous crystal masses 216 grams, about half a pound! This equant, robust style is uncommon, particularly in fine specimens of this size. The termination is super sharp and lustrous. This specimen was acquired in the early 1990s by collector Dave Stoudt, from a cull of the then-collection of Joel Bartsch, now President and Minerals Curator of the Houston Museum of Natural History. It is a major Small Cabinet sized azurite by any standard. Joe Budd Photos
