A choice, doubly-terminated azurite crystal, complete, with a bit of attached green malachite for nice color contrast! A choice miniature with an unusually upright and elegant example of this style for a Milpillas azurite. From finds circa 2010-14. This crystal is complete front and back, all around, has top luster, and a stunningly rich blue color. Wayne was the exporter for much of this material at the time and kept this choice miniature.
