A classic, sharp and lustrous, spear-point cluster of tabular, parallel-growth, midnight-blue azurite crystals from the 1970s finds at the mines at Touissit, Morocco. This stunning, two-sided specimen has the very desirable "electric blue" highlights, for which Touissit is well-known. Ex. Dr. Gary Hansen Collection.
