A cluster of sharp azurite crystals beginning to pseudomorph to malachite, from perhaps the world's premier mineral specimen locality. The central crystal is a particularly fine doubly-terminated crystal measuring 3.8 cm. A very stout, very blue Tsumeb azurite that beautifully shows the classic pseudomorphing.
