Azurite is perhaps the most famous Tsumeb mineral species, and this is such an adorable, aesthetic miniature. On a bit of matrix is a radiating cluster of tabular, lustrous, deep blue azurite crystals to 2.5 cm in length. Pinpoints of neon blue can be seen when the specimen is backlit. Superb for the size, with a style to it that makes it stand out.
