Item Description
An impressive, jackstraw cluster of large azure-blue azurite blades from Tsumeb. Some of the crystals are partially altered to malachite, adding color and character. In excellent shape, overall. The major terminations appear to be corroded, rather than contacted. The broad crystal at the top is 3.2 cm across and crystals reach 7.5 cm in length. Classic Tsumeb. Undoubtably old-time, upper levels material, but no proof. The piece displays well without aid. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
