Item Description
A sculptural 7.8 cm elongated cluster of unusual melted-look malachite pseudomorphs after blocky azurite crystals is nicely set on the large matrix richly covered with glassy spherical aggregates translucent, cream-colored smithsonite rhombs. Periphery wear is noted to both the pseudos and smithsonite, but this remains an impressive, showy, highly representative and rich large combination example of the species. Classic older Tsumeb material.
