Azurite on Cuprian Smithsonite
A historic and aesthetic specimen from a single famous pocket at Tsumeb: Distinguished and attractive, this historic combination piece of Azurite on Cuprian Smithsonite is from the great Tsumeb mine. The drusy, green Cuprian Smithsonite provides a sparkly background for the stunningly sharp and lustrous blades of Azurite. Combine the sheer beauty with an impressive provenance that includes Friedrich Wilhelm Kegel, Washington Roebling, and The Smithsonian, and you have a small cabinet specimen that is worthy of any Tsumeb collection or other suite. It is an astonishing contrast. Better in person!
