Look at this cluster of GEMMY azurites on a backdrop of green mottramite! The azurites are absolutely pristine, and under good light you can see the flash of blue from inside. They are as lustrous as glass and wonderfully terminated. They measure to just over one centimeter. The isolation of this cluster of gorgeous crystals in the center of the matrix makes this Tsumeb classic truly special!
