Azurite (EASTER POCKET, 1994)

Item Description

Composed of Azurite and Arsentsumebite, this choice combination piece is from the famous Easter Pocket, discovered in 1994 on Tsumeb's 8th Level. The tabular Azurites have superb luster and attractive form, a typicla style found only in this one find and unique to that discovery. Some of the smaller ones are quite translucent. A bonus here is the sparkling crystals of the Arsentsumebite, for which Tsumeb is the type locality. Rarely found in quality form from later day mining, this Arsentsumebite takes it to another level with its lustrous, drusy crystals that have a rich color and sparkle in contrast. This is a great pairing of two important Tsumeb species, and there is even some well-formed, reticulated Cerussite to make it even more special. Gorgeous and sparkly, a Tsumeb classic!
