A dramatic large cabinet specimen that is composed as if a piece of art, with the Azurite crystals aesthetically scattered on a green carpet of Malachite.  The Liufengshan Mine has produced a variety of beautiful secondary copper minerals over the years and this is absolutely an astonishing Azurite Malachite piece!  Mined in 2018, the bright blue color of the Azurite and velvety Cat’s Eye Malachite crystals prevail at various vugs of this elongate, mounded matrix lined with mineral crystals.  The colors are even more saturated than photos, this piece is way more beautiful in person.  Hundreds of Azurite crystals displaying botryoidal and prismatic tabular shapes artfully “flow” on the carpet of Malachite, some are outlined by vibrant green Malachite.  It reminds me of a pretty Chinese embroidery painting, mesmerizing!  This is such a captivating and noteworthy Azurite Malachite specimen of a large cabinet size and supreme quality.  Comes with a high quality copper-wired displays stand.
