Item Description
A sculptural and unusually lightweight pseudomorph from famed Tsumeb. The coral-like specimen with a bit of matrix is composed of aggregates of blue-green malachite botryoids, that have replaced dentritic copper. A complete pseudomorph due to the very light weight. A rare and showy pseudo from Tsumeb. Gorgeous under a loupe, for the mixro textures, too.
