Item Description

A VERY AESTHETIC Tsumeb miniature of a superbly placed, 1.4 cm, lustrous, doubly terminated, midnight-blue azurite crystal on beautifully contrasting white smithsonite. The sharp, upright azurite crystal looks just like the primary crystal on a diadem and the smaller azurites are a very nice accent. An exquisite specimen from this famous and now-closed mine. Ex Rob Smith Collection and valued at $300.
