Item Description
An excellent and very showy, two-sided cluster of malachite pseudomorphs after sharp azurite blades embedded in matrix from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. The large doubly terminated pseudo is 3.9 cm. Modest contacting is noted on one side, as is scattered trivial bruising. This remains a very fine example of Tsumeb azurite pseudos of old-time quality. Valued at $900.
