Sharp, isolated crystals of azurite to 1.9 cm, perched on contrasting matrix of velvety malachite, make this a striking miniature. While classic in style, it is more refined than most because of the isolation of the azurites, which shows off the clean edges and crystal shapes so well. Laszlo Kupi photo.
