A DRAMATIC CABINET specimen from Tsumeb! Two, huge, intergrown malachite pseudomorphs after azurite crystals look like a pistol. The top and end of the "barrel" are very sharp and the "handle" projects downward. The piece is nicely complimented by glassy, bladed cerussite and a couple of smaller pseudos.
