I bought it from Alain Martaud and he told me it came from Bou Bekker, which I can certainly believe because it doesn't look anything like Touissit's. The best thing about it is the 'dragon' form of the Azurite crystals and the fact that the 'dragon' is on matrix.

JFD63AN9: Azurite

Touissit is well known for its secondary lead minerals but is less known as a world class locality for copper secondaries, and yet I believe that some of its best azurites would be among the top ten azurites in the world. They tend to have good sharp crystals, like this one, and occasionally exhibit an excellent luster, as is also the case here. The size of the crystals is not very large, but they sit on a white matrix that gives a nice color contrast. I bought it to the always precise and always affable Hmani Ali, at his home in Oujda.

A historical piece. Fine sharp tabular Azurite crystal aggregate with very visible flat faces of very brilliant luster and intense blue color forming rosettes crisscrossed with each other. The specimen stands out both for its good size as well as for its origin, the primitive 'Mine Bleu' opened by miners in 1811, and which yielded numerous vugs full of Azurite, as evidenced by this specimen. It comes from the Moutet collection of Marseille with an original Deyrolle label that came attached to a cardboard box and that we will send to the buyer.
