10018 Azurite, Milpillas Mine, Cuitaca, Mun. de Santa Cruz, Sonora, Mexico

Single thick lustrous blue crystal on minor amount of matrix. This lot of azurites was collected from a water-course that intersected the orebody. Many great specimens were found andtaken to the US to sell. When the mine foreman noticed that his miners were all driving new SUVs, he complained he was not getting his share and ordered the face of the water-course to be sprayed with gunnite to prevent any future collecting.
