Detailed Description
The top of this piece is crowned with aggregates of stacked tabular azurite crystals. The blue colour of these crystals is particularly vibrant and the crystal forms are sharp and distinct. In excellent condition, very minor edge wear visible with magnification – a super specimen!
About These Azurites
Although the copper deposits of the Democratic Republic of Congo have been famous for a long time, excellent crystallized azurite specimens are uncommon from the DRC (and have often been quite expensive). This lot is from a new find at Kibwi, located approximately 70 km northeast of Lubumbashi on the road to Likasi in Katanga.
