A fantastic miniature of dark blue prismatic Azurite crystals intergrown to form a rose-like cluster. Individual crystals are well formed measuring to 14mm in length, and are very lustrous. The crystal form gives the 'petals' a rounded shape. These 'roses' typically form in clay beds, and are floaters, hence the crystals radiating out from a central point. This specimen is more 3-D in person than appears in the photos, its an attractive piece, one of my favourites from the group.
