Item Description

Striking pseudomorphs of rich green malachite after sharp blocky azurite crystals dramatically fill an impressive vug on this outstanding sculptural small cabinet from famed Tsumeb. The dominating pseudo at the crest is with the chisel termination is 1.7 cm and crystals in the interior reach 1.5 cm long. All of the many crystals in the interior are pristine. The piece displays very well, as a piece of baked clay is attached to the base. Valued by the former dealer at $1850 for the richness and excellence of the very sharp pseudos. An exceptional Tsumeb classic with remarkable presence.
