A superb Tsumeb azurite, one of the great classics from the mine! This piece has multiple crystals to 2 cm or just above, shooting out from the dolomite matrix. A few minute anglesite crystals and a shard of cerussite are present as well. The majority of the azurites are pristine and undamaged. Only the crystals on one periphery are damaged from contact where it broke off the host formation. The others are of TOP quality, really sharp and lustrous with a vivid deep blue color to them. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
