Malachite, Azurite
Morenci, Copper Mountain District (Clifton-Morenci District), Shannon Mts, Greenlee Co., Arizona, USA
Small Cabinet, 6.9 x 3.8 x 3.1 cm
SOLD
An unusual specimen that looks like it once was a large, robust azurite crystal, which became hollowed out and then replaced over time with beautiful, fibrous malachite in the cavity. It could just be a natural cavity with some odd, straight-edge contacts that constrained its growth and makes the sides look as if they were crystal faces, though. Unusual Morenci material, in any case. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
