Azurite, Malachite after Azurite & Calcite (old classic)

Item Description

An aesthetic, sculptural, large old-time combination from the Upper Oxided Levels of the renowned Tsumeb Mine. An isolated 2.3 cm cluster of lustrous, striated, dark navy blue azurite blades and two clusters of highly chatoyant smooth to heavily etched blades of malachite after azurite are artistically isolated on the large rolling gossan matrix covered with mounded aggregates of sparkly, translucent calcite rhombs. The azurites have areas of electric-blue color under bright light. The crystals at the base of the azurite cluster are bruised, but this remains a very fine large old-time combination with noteworthy crystal isolation.
