Copper pseudomorph after Azurite ("Copper Rose")A wonderful complete "floater" "Copper Rose" specimen from New Mexico featuring fine, sharp, bladed crystals of what were once Azurite and later replaced by Native Copper. My favorite aspect of the piece is that the crystals are notably sharp and well preserved, which is not common in this material as they are often a bit rounded. This one is distinct, and has great separation between each crystal, giving the piece a wonderful three dimensional

Specimen # BROOK31930

and how often do you see an 8+ inch bi-color “floater” crystal like this for such a reasonable price

which I have only seen on a few pieces from this locality

Associated minerals include Quartz

where the crystals rarely exceeded 6 mm in length

Specimen #MAD61615

The quarry has been filled in for a housing development and will never again produce specimens

the best luster and often gemminess of any Vivianite specimens to date from this country

Specimen# CO712B158

each blade is notably well separated from the other

and to find a stalky crystal like this is uncommon in my experience

tabular blades
