Azurite Ball    Chengmenshan, Jiangxi Prov., China.  This outstanding, floater,  azurite ball is highly aesthetic and composed of large crystals.  It is from the original fine that produced a handful of nice balls like this.  They were certainly few and far between then.  Now they are nearly impossible to find.  This ball is well formed measuring 7.2 x 6.7 x 5 cm and is the deep blue color that one expects in a top azurite (and which is nearly impossible to photograph well).  The crystals are thick and blocky and very large.  Some crystals are up to 1.5 cm each and most are about a cm on edge.  This floater is displayable from any angle and is quite amazing.  This is a top shelf, damage-free azurite specimen at a low price due to the overall lack of appreciation of these fine minerals from China.  Comes with a custom engraved acrylic base.  Killer specimen….   2,250$
