Azurite with Malachite

Azurite with Malachite from Utah. This piece came to us through Hawthorneden, because Frank had bought an entire room full of Azurites from this deposit in the late 1980's. Not much has been found since then, and in the 1990's Bisbee roses were widely available, then China started producing in the late 1990's. Most people who see our assortment are surprised to see the location. This piece has great color, and a fine lustre. There is no damage on this piece, just an annoying small patch of white mineral tack on its base (unseen when displaying it).
