A simply brilliant, electric-blue piece with sharp crystals to 2.5 cm in size flashing out at you! The luster is so great, its like mirror finish as much as an azurite can. These crystals have the near-metallic, almost translucent surface sheen of blue for which this mine will someday be famous. For the robust crystals on large matrix, with only very trivial damage (to the periphery), this would be among the better pieces from the find, and frankly it ranks up there with historic quality Tsumeb material as well, I think. Note the sharp contrast of the malachite and azurite zones, which accentuates both colors - though the core azurite is very pure and stands out all the more dramatically compared to the mixed colors at the edges, thus.
