An impressive large malachite after azurite pseudomorph from Tsumeb. This showy, old-timer is doubly terminated. The sharp termination is broken, but healed and the other termination is etched and partially hollow! This very sharp, blocky crystal has a nice chatoyant sparkle to it. The embedded matrix at the hollow end and the broken embedded cerussite or anglesite are the only contacting or bruising to this classic, old-timer from the Rob Smith Collection.
