Azurite, Malachite –  Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Municipio de Santa Cruz, Sonora, Mexico
 
The perfectly crystallized and highly lustrous azurites in the sought-after royal blue color on the malachite-covered matrix are extremely aesthetically pleasing. Azurites from the Milpillas Mine are famous for their intense color and particularly strong shine. This piece shows these characteristic properties of the mine particularly clearly. Matrix pieces are extremely rare and therefore particularly in demand. Wonderful collector's item from Mexico of the best quality and rarely beautiful construction.
