7.3 x 5.5 x 1.7 cm. Azurite is rare for this famous copper district. Here we have a showy, old-time plate of beautiful, azure-blue azurite microcrystals richly and aesthetically covering the gossan matrix plate and nicely accented by a scattering of malachite from the famous Gwennap-St. Day Area of Cornwall. Ex. Mark Feinglos Collection.
