This is one of the very best azurite from Laos I have ever seen! The true electric-blue color – which is extremely rare, even in the famous mines of Milpillas – combined with bright green malachite and brown matrix draws a picture of the jungles of Laos. The specimen is wonderfully 3-dimensional and simply perfect on all sides and in any respect. The surface of the azurite is highly lustrous and vibrant and is delicately structured. I’m happy to present such a beauty that definitely does not have to fear any comparison to the famous mines of Milpillas or Tsumeb.
