How many malachite pseudos have we seen form Tsumeb? hundreds? thousands? and almost all after Azurite, too. This one features malachite of velvety nature having completely replaced intricate fans of crystallized copper! It has superb aesthetics, and is even complete on both sides! At one time this was in the Marshall and Charlotte Sussman Collection. Ed obtained it from Stuart Wilensky in 1998, Ed always felt this to be a littl emore unique than other Tsumeb malachites he had owned over the years. If in doubt that it was from Tsumeb at all, the wulfenites prove the point!
