CC16700AZURITE with ZINCOLIVENITE$100.00
Editor's note
This is a rather sophisticated piece for a new collection but the color composition and contrast is so striking you don't need to understand much of the description to appreciate this miniature. You get a similar blue-green combination in Azurite with Malachite pieces - a very common combination. This is something more original and very reasonably priced.

Description
Light peppermint to leaf green Zincolivenite crystals to 1.5 mm are richly scattered over micro-crystals of deep sapphire-azure blue Azurite at the centre of a small miniature sized Azurite nodule. This quite charming specimen is from the mines close to Lavrion on the Attica Peninsula of Greece. The capital, Athens, was built close to this mining area in ancient times as this was where the wealth of the nation originated due to its rich lead-silver mines.

Azurite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
