Description

Here is a large, fine piece from the famous find of the so-called Australian azurite "suns"! The piece hosts a tight cluster of azurite, big, sharp, with deep blue color just in the middle of contrasting matrix. While many of them are repaired and even fakes, this one is totally natural, still on matrix and almost perfect, with just a small point of wear, nothing detracting!
