Azurite on Smithsonite (RARE combination)

Item Description

Azurite and smithsonite combinations are RARE and desirable from Tsumeb, especially in this azurite richness. Scintillating dark navy-blue azurite crystals cover the hefty for the size smithsonite matrix on this very rich, aesthetic and showy combination from Tsumeb. The blocky crystals reach 9 mm and the white smithsonite rhombs along one edge are a super accessory and contrast. Portions of azurites GLOW with electric-blue color under bright light. The bit of noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this exceptional and RARE combination. Valued by the former dealer at $1800.
