About the Item
An impressive and varied collection of 5 natural mineral specimens.
Each presented on exclusive custom display plinths, this set are a range of outstanding large cabinet specimens formed over millions of years, each with their own impressive colours, characteristics, and qualities.
Featuring in this striking collection is a vivid green amazonite, a brilliant cobalt displaying a lustre of various blues and purples and a charming aegirine and zircon.
An azurite and malachite specimen are also included; azurite is a soft, deep-blue copper mineral made by weathering of copper ore deposits. During the early 19th century, it was also known as chessylite, after the type found in Chessy-les-Mines near Lyon, France.
