Description

This is a very interesting piece featuring neon blue azurite crystals that were described as “linarite” by the previous owner. However, EDS analysis clearly shows that this unusually formed mineral is azurite.

On the back side, on the other hand, there are typical dark blue azurite crystal groups.
With some malachite and cerussite.

Ex Döring collection.
