Arthur S. Radtke collection. The original Azurite crystal appears to have been double terminated. No matrix or point of attachment. This exceptionally large, attractive, display quality single crystal has excellent, light to medium aqua blue color. The crystal has an uncomplicated hexagonal form, and a mirror-smooth, flat termination.
All prism faces, and the termination, are in excellent condition with very sharp and shiny faces.
A hand carved mahogany stand comes with this large single crystal, so it can be displayed to best advantage in an upright position. The display stand has a bird motif. A portion of one of the upright supports on the stand is missing, however, the stand is very useful and actually attractive when used to display the Aquamarine crystal, so it is included at no charge. A secondary deposition, composed of many more than 100 very sparkly needle Quartz crystals, nearly fills in the gaps between the Hubnerite crystals. The Quartz crystals were deposited so profusely that the prism faces and terminations of two of the Hubnerite crystals are exposed, and the lower portions of the other two Hubnerite crystals are more or less buried in the thick intergrowth of needle Quartz crystals.
