Mixed Minerals

 

A killer azurite from the Milpillas Mine! This dark and mysterious crystal is 4.4 cm long and 2.2 cm in diameter, sitting on a small white piece of matrix. The azurite is sharply defined, a doubly terminated crystal of excellent luster and surface structure. The inside is very dark but with some gemmy patches near the surface that are sparkling indigo blue in direct illumination! The specimen is in very good condition. It has only one very small chip worth mentioning on the upper termination but is apart from that perfect and really a mesmerizing specimen!
