An IMPRESSIVE cluster of large, sharp, parallel-growth malachite after azurite blades from Tsumeb. This very showy piece is complete all-around and is essentially pristine. The terminations are contacted and coated with limonite and are not damaged, per se, though as you can see there is some contact and stopped growth. The "wing" and unaltered azurite showing through in a couple of areas are neat features. Classic and large Tsumeb material from the Brent Lockhart Collection.
