Azurite (classic material)

Item Description

One of the staples from Tsumeb is Azurite. Arguably the world's finest quality crystals of the species came from Tsumeb in a wide variety of habits. These specimens are a favorite not only among Tsumeb enthusiasts, but anybody who collects secondary ore minerals, copper minerals, and even general worldwide collectors. This specimen is a great example a thumbnail of Azurite from Tsuemb. The piece host a trio of very sharp, lustrous, monoclinic, thin "wedge"-shaped, midnight blue color crystals measuring up to 1.0 cm on minor matrix. The crystals look undamged to the naked eye, and they are so elegantly arranged to create a very showy display specimen. I don't have to tell you that the value of Tsumeb specimens seems to rise daily, and fine quality specimens are now highly sought after, and prized more than ever by dealers and collectors alike.
