A super-sharp classic Tsumeb pseudo of malachite that has replaced fine blades of azurite. The largest measures 3 cm. What is particularly nice about this specimen, in addition to its sculptural form, is that the sharpness of the former azurite crystals has been so well preserved in the pseudomorph, and does not have the "corroded" look you sometimes get with these. Ex. Ernie Schlichter Collection.
