Very colorful specimen of lustrous blue Azurite with velvety green Malachite. This is a great example thats shows how some of these Milpillas Azurite have a thin veneer of blue Azurite over a core of Malachite. The Malachite pops through in places and in other areas the Azurite is so thin it gives a bright 'electric' blue color. The contrast of colors and textures along with the well formed crystals make this an appealing example. It's not perfect but has good sized crystals and along withthe color and style I value this at $100+.
