The 1994 Azurite find in the Easter Pocket on 8 Level is one of the classic historic discoveries at the Tsumeb mine and the inclusion of such a specimen in a good Tsumeb collection is a must! This specimen ticks all the boxes in terms of aesthetic, depth of colour, crystal form, crystal quality and is simply wonderful for display. The opaque crystals range up to 3 cm wide by 0.8 cm thick and are all of a deep inky midnight-blue with mirror-bright pinacoid faces. The prism edges of most crystals show excellent growth structures in the form of individually terminated mm-scale Azurite crystals that merge to build the crystals. Micro-crystals of glassy colourless to translucent white Cerussite crystals small clusters between some of the Azurite crystals. This is an excellent Azurite group from the Easter Pocket and is a specimen that will enhance any collection.
