The front side of this specimen is almost completely covered in thick, blooming groups of deep blue Azurite crystals that give the piece's display a more three-dimensional appearance. Along with being sharply-formed and having a nice luster, the Azurite is complemented with velvety-green clusters of Malachite, which are mainly consolidated to the center of the specimen. Rather than the smaller Azurite that makes up most of the floral clusters, the left side of the specimen presents larger, more distinct crystals that reach up to 1.2 centimeters in length. This piece is a very sizable and exceptional example from this locality and comes with a custom acrylic base.
