A flat-out, beautiful Tsumeb combination specimen of tiny, two-toned, radial tufts of acicular malachite crystals richly scattered on a 3-dimensional matrix of lustrous, gemmy, colorless calcite rhombs. I really like the color combination and form of this Tsumeb cutie. The malachite is primary malachite. Excellent material from this now-closed mine. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
