Item Description

An EXCELLENT, 3-for-1, miniature deal of 5 classic and desirable Tsumeb species in one lot. Two of the pieces feature gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals, one on glassy, calcite rhombs and the other on gossan matrix. The third piece highlights a potpourri of Tsumeb species: lustrous, azurite crystals are next to malachite pseudomorphs after azurite crystals; some azurites are half pseudoed to malachite; and lustrous, colorless cerussite crystals are nicely scattered amongst the azurite and malachite crystals.
