Cluster of deep blue Azurite crystals with a minor amount of attached Malachite. This is from what is called the Watercourse Pocket of the mine which produced some of the best specimens ever found there. Specimens from this pocket were composed of interlocking, lustrous crystals such as these. Like many from this pocket, it is a floater with small needle-like crystals of Malachite attached. This specimen features a 1.9cm main crystal with smaller intergrown crystals. Valued at $150+
