Stunning miniature specimen featuring Rosasite after Malachite replacing Azurite, with a small second generation growth of Azurite...sitting on a bed of white Smithsonite crystals. This is a really good looking example of an uncommon Tsumeb Pseudomorph combo, in excellent condition. Ex. Marshall Sussman Collection
