Item Description

The value of specimens from Tsumeb increases daily it seems and good specimens from this mine are ALL highly sought after classics. Here we have a nice reference association specimen featuring a few prismatic, eletric blue Azurite crystals with white Cerussite, greenish Smithsonite, yellow-green Bayldonite and some minor brownish-yellow spots of an unknown mineral (possibly Tsumcorite?). A cool little piece with at least five species present.
