Large, lustrous crystals of electric blue Azurite. This is a great study piece as the edges of the Azurite
are broken in areas revealing fibrous crystalline Malachite inside and only a thin veneer of Azurite on
the outside. The thin layer of Azurite over internal Malachite yields the great electric blue color.
