Item Description

A killer Tsumeb azurite thumbnail. Highly lustrous, elongated, blocky, navy-blue azurite crystals are dramatically isolated on the starkly contrasting, sparkly, mint-green, microcrystalline, cuprian smithsonite. The azurites have desirable "electric-blue" gemminess under bright light. A rare and beautiful competition-level, combination thumbnail. Valued at $750
