Item Description

Showy and classic, old-time Tsumeb combination material from the upper oxidized levels. Sharp malachite after azurite crystals to 1.2 cm densely and attractively line a sculptural vug. Scattered in the vug are very glassy, translucent, cerussite crystals. A 1.5 cm pod of golden-amber, micro mimetites with bright green botryoidal malachite on the back is nice accent. The piece has a couple of fine display views. Ex Rukin Jelks Collection.
