#05 / AZURITE - $75
Kerrouchen, Morocco
3.5 x 2 x 1.5 cm.
A floater, double terminated crystal of bright, lustrous Azurite. The terminations at both ends are a series of jagged little points and there is a little alteration to
Malachite as seen in the pics that give it a nice color contrast. I acquired this in 1980, so it was probably mined in the late 70's.
