Crystal ClassicsFeatured
Tucson, Arizona, USAMore commonly seen in relation to the famous Tsumeb mine in Namibia, the classic pseudomorph of copper carbonates where blocky to bladed Azurite crystals are replaced with Malachite is also a feature of historic mineral specimens from Morenci mine in Arizona, USA, but specimens are much rarer. This classic old-timer is a pure large miniature-sized aggregate of velvety green Malachite pseudomorphs after slightly rosetted intergrown tabular to bladed crystals of Azurite, individually measuring to 3 cm across. The reverse of the specimen displays a silky lustre with a chatoyant play of light. A fine Arizonan classic.
