Description

Very interesting and rarer specimen from this classic locale.

On limonitic ore matrix numerous green pseudomorphs of malachite after azurite settle in a large vug accompanied by highly lustrous water clear calcites. The pseudomorphs show well developed crystal shapes. Almost looks like the famous Tsumeb pseudo´s.

Showy one!
