About this specimen
The blue does the work here. A crust of tiny blocky azurite crystals sheets across the upper third of this matrix piece, going near-black where it dips into shadow and flaring to hard ultramarine wherever a crystal face turns into the light. Below it the host rock is grey and tan, veined with rust-orange staining.
Azurite is a secondary copper carbonate, Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2, formed where oxygenated groundwater breaks down primary copper sulphides — which is why it shows up as coatings and crusts on weathered ore rather than deep inside fresh rock. It is soft, Mohs 3.5–4, and over very long exposure it can alter toward malachite, so keep it out of sustained direct sunlight and dry heat.
Size is 4.3 cm × 3.8 cm × 2.8 cm at 25 g, set on white putty on a clear acrylic block for the photographs. Those photographs record this individual piece, blue crust and all.

Yes. Every specimen is a single, one-of-a-kind piece, and the photographs show the exact item you will receive — never a stock photo.

Can I return it?
Yes — there is a 14-day return window.
