Description from the seller

Watch a video of this specimen by following the Vimeo link below: https://vimeo.com/1236053216/7e34fd495d

A sharp, bladed azurite crystal with brilliant deep blue color and excellent luster rises from a rich gossan matrix — a classic Touissit composition. What makes this piece stand out is a pristine white cerussite mantle that has partially draped itself over both the azurite and the surrounding matrix, creating a striking contrast against the intense blue. All around excellent condition.

Miniature.
