Item Description
The stunning termination has unmatched "electric-blue" color on this excellent, large, sharp Tsumeb azurite crystal, that is partially pseudomorphed by malachite. The termination REALLY lights up in bright light, with a neon-blue color. The chatoyant quality of the malachite and the attached matrix add panache to this complete all-around and undamaged crystal. The crystal is from the November, 1980 find at Tsumeb and comes with the former collector's Mineral Kingdom invoice. He paid $350 for this in July, 1982. It is worth much more today. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
