MALACHITE ps. after AZURITE with ROSASITE

A truly great example of Malachite pseudomorphing thick-set stubby Azurite crystals with associated Rosasite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. Rarely are Malachite pseudomorphs so razor sharp, the crystals on this miniature forming sharp chisel tip terminations of deep forest green Malachite. Turquoise pastel green Rosasite either coats or replaces Malachite which has originally pseudomorphed after Azurite, so forming a double replacement. A delightful miniature.\n
