Aggregates of intergrown blue Azurite crystals grown on the velvety, vivid persian green Malachite from Khanong open pit, Sepon Mine, Laos.  The sparkly, exceedingly lustrous Azurite crystals in deep electric blue color stacked on each other, like little mountains of gems, very three-dimentional and sculptural.  Stands perfectly for display, Azurite crystals of this super quality is rare to find, it is truly a beauty!
 
Azurite and Malachite specimens from this locale has long been offered for sale in China but it has only recently been shown to the world as supplies have always been very limited and Azurite is popular amongst the Chinese minerals collectors.  Thanks to my daddy's long-term relationship with the suppliers in Asia and Laos, I am able to acquire the most beautiful and rarest pieces of all.
