Choice thumbnail containing a sharp, very attractive, bladed Azurite crystal, along with a partial Azurite altering to Malachite, all on matrix. The main Azurite has excellent color with classic electric-blue fire under the right light. The luster is good, with smooth faces on the termination and striated prism faces. Very fine aesthetics.
