Description

Superb Azurite specimen from the famous Tsumeb mine Namibia! Large Azurite crystals with mirror luster and Malachite coating partially covering some areas, typical of the locality. The thick Azurite crystals seems like floating and are double terminated! Especially beautiful is, depending on the angle of the observation, the Azurite faces that show beautiful formation patterns! Incredible aesthetics and high quality specimen! It comes from a very old Tsumeb collection.
