Copper pseudomorph after Azurite ("Copper Rose")

Copper pseudomorph after Azurite ("Copper Rose")This is an outstanding "floater" "Copper Rose" pseudomorph specimen from the only place in the world where they are found. The piece is damage free and dramatic with its striking aesthetics and form. It is important to stress the fine quality of the piece from the standpoint of the fact that the individual blades of the "rose" are unbelievably SHARP and distinct, which is unlike many others I've seen from this locale, as they can be somewhat "lumpy"

This piece is essentially undamaged and is so much fun to play with as you can see crystallization on all sides

This is a great rarity to find prismatic Morganite from any locality

The piece is complete all around

and fine quality specimens still astound me every time I see them
