Tennantite pseudomorphs after azurite are rare from the Tsumeb Mine. This is an aesthetic, large, complete all-around and undamaged crystal cluster, with the large pseudomorph having a sharp, chisel termination. The malachite coating is a very nice accent to this excellent specimen. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
