A sharp and unusual crystal of example of Azurite, one of Tsumeb's signature species. This thumbnail has superb luster with some mirror-like faces, and an interesting, though minor, intergrowth with green, copper-rich minerals and possible a trace of Cerussite. One side of the Azurite is tiered with horizontal striations, and the overall aesthetics present well. Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher - PTN52.
