Item Description

A very showy and UNCOMMON pseudomorph from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine of malachite pseudomorphing copper plates. I really like the way the pseudos are 90 degrees or perpendicular to one another. The pseudos are on a crusty matrix of sparkly, bubbly, two-toned smithsonite. An excellent combination specimen and unusual/uncommon pseudomorph. Valued at $400, according to the former dealer label.
