AZURITE

Chessy, near Lyons, Rhône, France

AZURITE, Chessy, near Lyons, Rhône, France. An extremely large, nearly-spherical, crystallized mass or “ball” with a little malachite. The azurite crystals are bladed and the surfaces are soft, not lustrous but of excellent blue-color. This specimen is one of the largest examples, from this old, classic locality, ever to pass through my hands. 4-1/2x4x2-3/4 inches. Sold.
