This stunning piece of azurite comes from the world-famous Touissit mining region in Morocco and impresses with its intense, deep blue crystals that shine in full splendour. Azurite is known for its bright blue colour, and this piece embodies everything that collectors appreciate about this mineral. Equally remarkable are the additional green accents of malachite, which give this specimen even more depth and vibrancy.


A play of light and colour

The deep blue colour of the azurite in this piece is truly eye-catching. The intense shine and rich hues of the azurite crystals create a spectacular play of colours that captivates every observer.

This dazzling colour palette is characteristic of azurite from Touissit and makes this piece a distinctive collector's item.


Green malachite highlights

In addition to the dominant azurite, this piece also features fine green highlights of malachite, which contrast fascinatingly with the rich blue of the azurite. The small malachite crystals create vibrant colour flecks that make the piece even more interesting and emphasise its natural diversity.
