Azurite

Item Description

Azurite from Tsumeb is one of the most classic, and highly sought after species of the hundreds found at this famous locality. This piece features good quality, fair sharp and rather lustrous, deep midnight blue "sword"-shaped crystals of Azurite measuring up to 1.2 cm on matrix. A very attractive little specimen, and good quality for the material. There is a tiny "spot" on the top of the main crystal that I don't consider to be damage, but rather a small indentation where another crystal once grew. Tsumeb specimens are rising in value by the minute it seems, and even pieces like this are scooped up by collectors as quick as they are offered on the market.
