A fine pseudomorph from the Tsumeb Mine. White to blue willemite has replaced two, sharp, beautifully juxtaposed azurite crystals. The front of this very fine pseudomorph is pristine. The contacts of the back of the piece reveal the blue willemite. Bonuses are the yellow mimetite needles scattered about. Ex. Dr. Mark Feinglos Collection.
