Translucent, tabular intergrown Azurite crystals from the Volborthite zone. Two main interconnected crystals with a small amount of attached Malachite.
Complete all around with some edge contacting, possibly where it was attached to the matrix. Milpillas is already considered
the best Azurite locality in the world. While crystals are currently abundant,
now is the time to get a good one before supplies dry up.
