Item Description

This is a fine toenail size specimen with sharp crystals that beautifully displays the classic, velvety green Malachite replacing Azurite. There is also some minor greenish Bayldonite on the bottom on the specimen along with some small, sharp, lustrous, royal blue Azurite crystals. Tsumeb specimens are becoming harder to find on the market, and this piece is a good representative specimen of this attractive and well known material.
