Gemmy, tabular Azurite crystals to 1.4cm that contrast well against a white Dickite coated matrix. This specimen is from what is known as the Chiclet Pocket, named for the size and shape of the crystals which can resemble Chiclet gum. The superb blue and transparency are evident when held under lighting. The strong color and contrast of specimens from this pocket make them coveted by collectors. There is one broken off crystal towards the bottom of the specimen, otherwise undamaged.
