Description

A vug lined with parallel to sub-parrallel intergrowths of intensely dark blue tabular azurite crystals (to circa18 mm), in a massive azurite matrix with a little cerussite and arsentsumebite (?).  The display vug is rimmed with aggregates of colourless-white cerussite crystals. 

The specimen was purchased from Scott Werschky (Miners Lunchbox) in 2024 but with no earlier provenance or location in the mine.
