Item Description

Tsumeb has produced world-class malachite pseudomorphs after azurite and this is a very fine old-time example. Chatoyant velvet malachite has pseudomorphed a sharp, wedge-shaped azurite crystal with a knife-edge termination and one flat face. Pristine. A classic and excellent Tsumeb pseudo with sculptural character. Only Tsumeb produced them like this - along time ago! Valued by the former dealer at $695.
