Simply a beautiful specimen with bladed rosettes of lustrous deep Azurite on green, bladed Malachite. In-hand it is just gorgeous. You will see the soft-looking velvety nature of the Malachite. It is an interesting bladed habit and is most likely a pseudomorph of previous Azurite. If so, the Azurite as it is now, is a later generation. It is deep deep blue and very lustrous. It would look good in any display case of the most elite of collections (mine excluded of course since I have the world's best of everything) (NOT).
