Tsumeb is considered the greatest of all mines, and Azurites are among the most prized specimens from there. This fine cluster features a 1.5 cm bladed crystal, surrounded by over a half-dozen smaller blades near the base. The luster is excellent, with a deep color and striated faces. Highly representative of the quality Azurites from Tsumeb. Better in person.
