This 40mm x 38mm x 20mm specimen from the legendary Morenci Mine in Arizona is a compact, high-impact piece loaded with classic copper mineral aesthetics. Deep navy-blue prismatic azurite crystals rise from the matrix, partially pseudomorphed by rich velvety malachite, creating a stunning interplay of color and texture.

The bright contrast between the sharp, reflective azurite faces and the soft green overgrowth of malachite captures the mineral’s transition mid-process—a rare and beautiful occurrence. Set on rusty red matrix with bits of oxidized copper and limonite, the specimen tells a story of geological transformation in miniature.

For its size, this piece offers a remarkable amount of visual interest and crystallographic integrity. A top-shelf example from one of the most iconic localities in the American Southwest.
