Malachite ps. after Azurite

Item Description

A classic Tsumeb specimen with the patterning of both green and blue as the malachite replaced the azurite and was frozen in the process. This is actually a really sophisticated thumbnail specimen, as it has matrix, is a cluster, and is complete alla round - normally these are just more boring singles. Although slender, it is fine - razor sharp crystals. If you value your thumbnail crystals on matrix whenever possible, this is a rare find indeed. From the award-winning thumbnail collection of Sharon and William Panczner, author of the book Minerals Of Mexico, and last seen and exhibited in the 1960s and recently rediscovered.
