Azurite : Cu3[OH|CO3]2

A sharp, impressive specimen that is complete on BOTH sides, showing partial alteration of the body to chatoyant, velvety malachite but leaving all the sharp azurite terminations intact as blue islands sticking up from the green! EXCEPTIONAL contrast of colors, here! This piece has some history to it in recent years, changing hands from musician James Horner to Wayne Thompson, who sold it to dealer Stuart Wilensky some years ago for his own collection. 9 x 7 x 2 cm
