Floater cluster of Azurite from the famous Chessy mines of France. These mines are long closed and I understand these specimens were found in the 1800s. This specimen has a nice Malachite after Cuprite perched right on top and some attached Malachite. There are no points of contact, a complete floater and undamaged. There are tiny grains of Quartz attached to the surface of the Azurite.
