MAZ30 Azurite with Malachite
Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Sonora, Mexico
8.1x 6.6x 3.3 cm
$1380
A great example of azurite from Milpillas, consisting of a group of azurite crystals with beautifully contrasting malachite. The azurite crystals themselves have top luster, and with minor lighting exhibit the best "electric" blue color. There are a couple spots around the edges where the azurite crystals appear to have grown up against another rock, but I see no damage. This is pieced about 1/2 (or less) of what comparable specimens are being offered for elsewhere.
Milpillas started producing around 2006, and finally closed in the summer of 2020. These come from a pocket discovered around 2013-14, they were part of a stash that was just released. I had the good fortune of high grading it, and am offering my favorite pieces here.
