Once in awhile amongst the azurite specimens coming from the mining in Anhui Province, you see one of these amazing "velvet" azurite specimens, with SHOCKING deep blue color that shimmers, due to the azurite having grown in hundreds of tightly-packed little bladed rosettes. You can see accents of malachite here and there. A real beauty! 10.2 x 8.2 x 4.0cm
