Over 2 lbs Solid Large Azurite with Malachite Specimen

I specialized in African minerals & crystals and had a little rock shop in the early 2000s. Unless noted, all of these were hand picked from small family businesses in several African countries and have NOT been through the "crystal mill" that is Asia or mass produced and sold at a major rock show (this has never seen Denver or Tucson, etc.). It was ethically sourced and a win-win for everyone, with living wages and care for the environment. If you are looking for a showpiece specimen that really stands out, in deep blue with green contrasts, this will not disappoint! Natural solid nodule of deep blue Azurite with botroidal formation on one side and semi-crystalline structure on the other side. Heavy for size. Specimen WILL stand, but I suggest something to brace it, like a button (you can one in some photos), to keep it safe from tipping over. Azurite is the Goddess crystal/mineral which I highly recommend to all women, or persons who want to empower the feminine. Malachite is a protective mineral (and much more). I fell in love this this material and bought quite a few of varying sizes, several of which landed in my collection. Length/Width ~5.5" x 4" Weight is 2 lbs 5+oz Origin: Kambove, DR Congo circa 2005. Photos are with and without supplemental light and a couple out in the sunshine. Any questions, just ask!
