Item Description

A dramatic and excellent Tsumeb azurite specimen from the Rob Smith Collection, from a noted Tsumeb specialist. A 4.1 cm, doubly terminated, sharp, rich azure-blue blade is very aesthetically attached to the edge of the matrix shard. The crystal has highly desirable, "electric-blue" gemminess on the edges under strong light! The crystal is very nearly pristine. only trivial, barely noticeable edgewear. A classic and very fine Tsumeb azurite valued at $500-600
