You just could not obtain a more significant "Morenci Rose" than this one...This is a spectacular rosette of lustrous, royal blue azurite, with individual crystals reaching 5 cm across. Additionally, the specimen is a complete floater with no visible points of attachment, and among the very largest examples of this find that we have seen (and one of us, Les Presmyk, handled the majority from this find at the time). This was from December, 1997. The color, crystal size and arrangement are just superb. The condition is incredible. This is a MAJOR US azurite specimen - according to Les, "although there were numerous smaller roses from this find, specimens of this size and quality can be counted on under two hands!" Comes with custom lucite base for easy display.
