caption_attribution_description: English: Azurite Locality: Blueball Mine, Globe, Globe Hills, Globe Hills District, Globe-Miami District, Gila County, Arizona, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Well, all jokes aside, I think from this specimen you can see why this mine was named the Blue Ball Mine. This is a wonderful azurite GEODE (yes, an azurite geode!) that came uniquely from this mine. The crystals grew radially towards the middle, where you can actually see terminations around the hollow at the very center. These are quite unique specimens! 3.4 x 3.3 x 1.8cm Deutsch: Azurit Fundort: Blueball Mine, Globus, Globe Hills, Globe Hills District, Globe-Miami District, Gila County, Arizona, Vereinigte Staaten (Fundort bei mindat.org)
