A lustrous, sharp, complete all-around, midnight-blue azurite crystal from Tsumeb. Azurites of this size and quality are what make Tsumeb famous for the world's best. The termination is sharp. One side is contacted, but is not damaged at all. Very nearly pristine, with only a trivial amount of edge wear on one side. Ex. Fred Kennedy of Minnesota and Mark Feinglos Collections.
