Description
This is a fine and typical specimen with several green crystals of Malachite pseumorphs after Azurite. The crystals here are super sharp defined and excellent terminated. Malachite pseudomorphs after Azurite are Tsumeb classics, and this excellent small cabinet sized specimen upholds the tradition and proves why. The Malachite crystals are very sharp in their fidelity of replacement of the original Azurites. Even better in person, this is a significant old Tsumeb specimen, almost surely from the old mining of the first or second oxide zones here and certainly before the 1960s "modern era" of mining began.
