9TD27N0: Azurite, on Quartz matrix, forms flattened crystals with parallel growths and multiple terminations. The luster and the color are very good. The lower part of some crystals and part of the matrix are covered by material that, after being analyzed, has turned out to be a mixture of clays, limestone powder and some submicrocrystalline copper phosphate. This specimen was a novelty at Tucson 2009.
