An excellent pseudomorph of Malachite after Azurite from the famous Tsumeb Mine, Namibia. Well developed bladed-tabular Azurite crystals in a parallel habit have been faithfully replaced by Malachite. The Malachite is of a mottled green colour, areas displaying radial habit with silky chatoyant play across these areas. A choice specimen on a sandy coloured Dolomite matrix.
