These aesthetic azurite specimens are from a little-known Mexican locality. They were collected in one of the mining prospects in the zone, at the beginning of 2017. They show rosette and globular aggregates formed by tabular azurite crystals, with a very, very intense blue color. Exceptional brilliance and transparence. When the light strikes them they have magnificent flashes of intense electric-blue color. They are disposed on a matrix formed by quartz crystals, partially covered probably by a slightly bluish silica gel. The main crystal is: 0,7 x 0,5 cm.
