The beauty of the piece is completely off the charts!  Excavated from the Dongchuan Cu ore field from May to June 2021, these new combo specimens WOW the Chinese mineral collecting world.  Hundreds of tiny, spherical shaped Azurite crystals aesthetically pseudomorph after Quartz, and they display a distinct vivid royal blue color, so dramatic!  Obtained directly from the miner’s home on-site, this is not only a fine specimen but also an outstanding combination rarity of mineral history, from time and place.  Comes with a high quality metal display stand.
