An IMPRESSIVE Tsumeb CABINET specimen of a large, 7.8 cm, sharp, tabular malachite after azurite crystal projecting upward from matrix. This is definitely, old-time, upper oxidized zone material. The azurite termination is contacted, not damaged, per se, and there are green willemite crystals embedded in the contact! The one clean repair to the azurite crystal is certainly not a detraction. Ex. George Elling Collection.
