Gorgeous and delicate, this jackstraw cluster well-represents one of Tsumeb's signature species, Azurite. The crystals here have excellent luster, and under bright light the blue responds vividly, rivaling the great translucence and coloration of the Moroccan Azurites. Displaying well in virtually any direction, this is a superb thumbnail. Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher - 39085.
