Item Description
A showy Tsumeb specimen of an attractive vug richly lined with highly lustrous diverging sprays of acicular primary malachite needles on a bit of matrix. The needles reach 1.8 cm. Primary malachite is not that common from any locality and this is very highly representative of the species and famous locale. Ex Rob Smith Collection.
