When azurites first appeared in the Llamas quarry in 2018, I got a very large batch of specimens and, from the whole lot, I chose this one because of the good size of the crystals, because they form beautiful rosettes, because they are very perfect, and because they bear a special “signature”, namely a colorless and totally transparent Fluorite crystal which appears between the two rosettes, very characteristic of the deposit.
