Hello,
I am posting images of an unknown specimen, the images were sent to me by a contact. Unfortunately the location and origin of the piece is not known. Am aware that users of this forum prefer locality information but that information was lost after the passing of the contacts mother.
I am told the black crystals are bluish-black under bright light. The specimen is about 3 1/2
inches long and 1 3/4 inches long. Four images are included.
Many thanks for your help.

>In the last message on this subject the size of the specimen should read: 3 1/2 inches long and 1 3/4 inches high.
It is an Azurite. Maybe from Tsumeb?

Certainly looks like an azurite to me. Either Tsumeb or Morocco.
