A RARE specimen of azurite and malachite from the classic locality of Laurion, Greece! While it would not win any prizes for beauty, this IS a rich specimen of this copper-mineral combo that is quite hard to obtain in old Laurion specimens (in fact all Laurion specimens are sought-after by many collectors and so they just do not appear that often on the market - you have to grab them when you can) .
