Lovely rosettes of Azurite from the famous Chessy mines of France. These mines are long closed and I understand these specimens were found in the 1800s. This specimen is composed of intergrown clusters of gorgeous blue color. There are no points of contact, a complete floater and undamaged. I traded for this recently from a miner in France who had a small stash of these. Original list price was $300.
