Superb electric blue Azurite crystals on matrix. This is from the watercourse pocket (also called the elegant pocket or spiderweb pocket) that was opened in 2013 and is an uncommon style for the pocket in that it has the typical intergrown cluster of top quality crystals but is attached to a flat piece of matrix. The light colored matrix with green and black spots really sets off the blue of the Azurite. Although this was mined in 2013 it only made its way north of the border in late 2014 having been stashed away by a miner. Undamaged and superb, this one really has it.
