This is a truly tall and well-shaped azurite crystal from Tsumeb mine. The crystal is unusually elongated and shows beautiful striatins parallel to the c-axis on all sides. The attached dolomite breccia matrix sets a pleasing contrast and makes this piece perfectly balanced. A classic piece of great beauty and aesthetics!
