Product Details

From the New Cornelia Mine, Ajo, Little Ajo Mountains, Ajo District, Pima County, Arizona An ‘oversized' thumbnail of a velvet malachite replacing azurite crystals from the rare location of Ajo, AZ. The velvet malachite appears to have replaced a number of azurite crystals, though there is also a small crystal that almost looks like a flowstone of malachite on one side. There are some pin-head sized pockets of a light brown matrix material. This piece is in a 'large' (for a perky box) (Please note - this is still a teeny bit larger than a normal thumbnail specimen) perky box measuring 54 x 54 x 38 mm. There is an old label on the back interior face of the perky top. This piece is a former Kino Rock Shop (Tucson, AZ) specimen. Weighs 43.8 grams (with the perky box). Measures 32 x 31 x 30 mm.
