Item Description

The value of specimens from Tsumeb increases daily it seems and good specimens from this mine are ALL highly sought after classics. Here we have a lovely association specimen featuring a few HIGHLY LUSTROUS, sharp, intense blue Azurite crystals with white Cerussite, minor green Malachite and yellow-green Bayldonite and some minor brownish-yellow spots of an unknown mineral (possibly Tsumcorite?). The largest Azurite measures 1.0 cm, and the quality is superb from the standpoint of color, luster and sharpness. A cool piece with at least five species present.
