This intense bi-coloured specimen of Azurite with Conichalcite, from the Kamariza mines, Greece might be miniature in size, but it has a certain 'wow' factor to it. A very small number of these intriguing specimens have come from this ancient mining area and this one is particularly pretty in its form. The rare specimen we have is seen as sparkling open radial core of light to deep royal blue Azurite. Surrounding this is contrasting bright green Conichalcite, with an outer surface of the Conichalcite displaying a well formed botryoidal habit. A marvelous specimen from the famous mining area.
