Floater cluster of Azurite with Malachite after Cuprite from the famous Chessy mines of France. The larger Malachite after Cuprite is partially etched away. These mines are long closed and I understand these specimens were found in the 1800s. Good large Azurite crystals. There are no points of contact, a complete floater and undamaged.
