This is the last Cab-O-The Day post from my Facebook page until the Holiday vacation is over with and hubby goes back to work. This is a Brisbee Banded Azurite cabochon. It reminds me a tiny bit of the Crazy Lace Agates I love so much but his particular stone is quite rare and fairly expensive. It's upwards of 375.00 but it's just SO gorgeous I had to post it anyway. Here are some interesting tid bits about this particular Cab: This piece came from a collection from the 50's and exemplifies Brisbee Azurite at it's finest. The deep blue Azurite mixed with the light blue Azurite bands makes it just stunning! The mine in Brisbee Arizona was opened in 1917 and closed in 1974. This piece came from the Czar Shaft.
Azurite is also known as "The Stone of Heaven" Enjoy!
