Description

This striking specimen comes from Brixlegg, renowned for its silver and copper minerals such as azurite and malachite. Exceptionally fine, it features deep-blue azurite crystals and vivid green malachite covering fan-shaped barite and dolomite crystals on the matrix. The piece grew as a freestanding specimen, crystallizing all around, with one side displaying especially intense coloration. An extremely attractive and rare find from this region!
