Item Description

Sharp, blocky, intergrown pseudomorphs of malacite after azurite crystals are aesthetically clustered on the sculptural matrix and are nicely accented by the contrasting lighter green copper oxide crusts. The pristine pseudos, to 1.9 cm, have a nice chatoyant shimmer, when rotated in light. Choice and classic Tsumeb pseudomorphs. Comes with a 1970s - early 80s Dr. Gary Hansen label.
