Description

Tolvas Duales Pocket, 1100 Level, Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Santa Cruz Municipality, Sonora, Mexico 11.0 x 7.5 x 2.3 cm This undamaged azurite specimen has that electric blue color that makes the Milpillas Mine so famous, as well as the new standard for quality azurite specimens. This stunning specimen has graced the collections of Gerhard Wagner and Frank Imbriacco III, two renowned collectors, and we are honored to have the specimen in our museum collection. This particular piece was from the left-most side of the famed "Tolvas Duales Pocket" and has a bit of the ideal velvety malachite matrix to provide that little pop. With crystals measuring to 2.6cm, this piece really has it all in terms of color, condition, and size. To have a piece of this size that is completely undamaged is a remarkable feat. This piece was formerly in the collections of Gerhard Wagner, Frank Imbriacco III, and Andrew K. Ford. Photographs by Jordan Root

Azurite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
