The Easter Pocket is a famous find of Easter 1994, which featured these unique, tabular crystals of azurite. It was one of the last finds befor ethe mine closed for good. This is a GORGEOUS cluster of sharp, chunky, lustrous, deep blue azurite crystals from the famous Easter Pocket at Tsumeb! The largest crystal measures 2.2 cm. There is very minor edge wear shown excessively in our closeup to be honest about it; but as you can see, it really does not detract from the overall view. 5 x 4.5 x 3 cm
