MULTIPLE, gemmy and lustrous, indigo-blue scorodite crystals to 1.0 cm nicely situated in a vug on both sides of matrix from Tsumeb. Scorodite is a rare Holy Grail mineral from Tsumeb and this is a very highly representative specimen, even with the contacting of a couple of the crystals. The isolated, sharp crystal on one side is a beauty. very SELDOM on the market in ANY quality. Ex. George Elling Collection.
