The unique tabular habit, violet-blue color, brilliant luster and gemminess of the azurites found in the famous 1994 Easter Pocket find at Tsumeb are legendary. This very showy and rich CABINET specimen is highly representative of this incredible find. Wulfenite-like tabular crystals reach 1.8 cm on this striking specimen.
