High quality cluster of electric-blue Azurite crystals with areas of exposed Malachite. These pseudomorph from the inside out and the Malachite inside is often covered by a thin veneer of Azurite, which leads to the bright blue color. In some areas the Malachite inside has reached the surface of the crystals. Other than an area on one crystals where it was atttached, and the areas of Malachite, the crystals are perfectly smooth and lustrous, and all are double-terminated. Crystals to 2cm in size.
