WOW! What an amazing azurite specimen from down under! Sharp and well formed crystals to 3.3 cm are perched on a gossan matrix individually and in clusters. An old label indicates that the piece was sold in 1897, later it came to famous Austrian dealer and collector Anton Berger. There is no damage on any side, the piece is very showy all around. Great provenance and display qualities!
