Description from the seller

Rare and highly aesthetic specimen of azurite that has partially transformed into malachite (pseudomorphism) with primary malachite. Large crystals of azurite shaped like a 'dyke,' with an intense blue, shiny color, and primary malachite that is 'hairy.' The contrast of shades is fantastic, with significant mineralogical value and very high aesthetic appeal.
This sample is characterized by the excellent formation of the crystals, which allows for an appreciation of the shapes of the crystalline faces. The crystals that grow naturally and optimally possess intense colors.

A unique piece of nature, ideal for enriching high-level mineral collections and perfect for decorating exclusive environments thanks to its high aesthetic value. Many people find healing properties in minerals; the uses for crystallotherapy and lithotherapy should not be underestimated.

Photos are taken in a dedicated set with intense lights to avoid altering the colors, but it is recommended to display the minerals in well-lit environments to fully appreciate their tones.

The shipment usually occurs the next day, with tracking and careful packaging. Multiple orders from the same customer will be grouped, and any excess shipping costs will be refunded.
