Dominated by an aggregate of unusually blocky Azurite crystals, this large miniature specimen from the famous Tsumeb mine in Namibia also features minor green Arsentsumebite along with white Cerussite as massive thin veinlets and small crystals too. The Azurite crystals line numerous cavities and show distinctive rhombic termination faces with an extremely glossy lustre and rich deep blue colour with matt blue broken surfaces between the crystal-filled vugs. The Azurite crystal terminations reach up to 7 mm across. Ex Weyand Collection.
