Item Description
A very rare and showy pseudomorph and combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. Malachite pseudomorphs after sharp to hackly copper crystals richly and attractively cover the undulating matrix, that is covered with lustrous, translucent, yellowish-brown, wulfenite crystals. The wulfies really scintillate in light and are a super compliment to the malachite pseudos. Choice, uncommon material from the Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb specialist. Valued at $500-750 for rarity and quality.
