Item Description

An outstanding, old-time Tsumeb azurite thumbnail. Lustrous, sharp, blocky, tapered, azurite-blue crystals are aesthetically clustered and are nicely accented by the bit of malachite. The impressive large crystal is 1.9 cm tall. The crystals have beautiful electric-blue highlight under bright light. Pristine. This is a style from the oldest parts of the mine, the First Oxidation Zone, circa 1900. This exquisite azurite is valued at $400.
