Item Description
A striking, large, sharp and fine, doubly terminated, malachite pseudo after azurite crystal from Tsumeb. This very fine, two-sided crystal has sharp chisel terminations and nifty chatoyancy. That"s an uncommon, 1.5 cm, quartz point embedded on one side of the crystal. Complete all-around and pristine, the contact is at the base. A classic and excellent Tsumeb pseudo from the Willy Israel Collection. Acquired from Clive Queit in 1982 and valued at $750. Well worth-it.
