Item Description

A large, complete all-around and pristine pseudomorph of tennantite after a sharp azurite blade from Tsumeb. The dusting of powder-blue plancheite is a very nice contrast and accent. Classic and seldom available material in crystals of this size and quality, this is a huge example for Tsumeb and would be even more rare from anywhere else. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb specialist. Valued at $900-1200.
