Item Description

Gorgeous, gemmy, "electric-blue" edges highlight the striking pair of sharp, highly lustrous, parallel-growth, azurite blades very aesthetically set in front of mounded, sturdy matrix of sharp, pastel-pink dolomite rhombs on this classic and excellent specimen from Tsumeb. EXTRA bonuses on this fine combo piece are a couple of tiny wulfenites blades partially hidden near the azurites, crudely euhedral, matte-finish, tennantite mostly on the back and side, two SUPER, isolated, malachite botryoids to 3 mm on a side and massive anglesite. A real showy potpourri of classic Tsumeb species from the Howard Belsky Collection.
