Here is a remarkable azurite specimen from Chessy, the type-locality for the species (formerly named 'chessylite' by ancient authors)!

It consists in a floater cluster of two fairly big rhombohedral crystals, of deep royal blue colour, featuring unique polysynthetic lattice mosaic faces with countless tiny parallel faces, making for an extraordinary satin lustre effect. Stunning in person!

An unique azurite from Chessy, the only one I have ever seen of that type.

Seller's Story

Cristosud is a company based in Lyon, France, offering a selection of fine quality French and international minerals, with particular emphasis on distinctive pieces and specimens that make you think! ~~~ As a naturalist geologist and observer collector, I am endlessly amazed by how natural processes lead to the formation of highly complex objects. Behind this complexity hides a fascinating beauty that human eyes can perceive. Minerals and crystals are stunning samples of natural beauty, everlasting sources of amazement and thinking that the collector can keep at home.
