Item Description
OUTSTANDING example of a rare, blue Aragonite from the famous, and now long-closed, Tsumeb Mine. The striking color is said to be caused from inclusions of the copper sulfate Chalcanthite, and the high gloss of the undulating surface really accentuates the color and adds even more to the beautiful aesthetics. These exemplary Aragonites were from a unique find on the fabulous 28th Level. They look like melted blue butter, and were never seen but once from Tsumeb in this quality. It is a large, rare specimen from the 1960s.
