Item Description

This impressive piece features a dominant large and sharp pseudomorph crystal measures 8.5 x 4.3 x 2.5 cm and is dramatically complimented by more pseudos up to 6.5 cm long. The termination is contacted, but there is no damage, per se and the rest of the crystal is pristine. It displays very well from three sides although I like the horizontal view myself. This is an old-time, classic and excellent large Tsumeb pseudo valued at $1500-1750 from the Upper Oxidized Levels (mined prior to WWI in all likelihood). Seldom on the market in this size and quality, especially at an auction, this is a large, attractive classic.
