A super cute grouping of azurite crystals from the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia. This is a fantastic scaled down thumbnail of azurite from what is likely the world’s finest locality for the species. While the mine produced some of the world’s largest and impressive azurite crystals, a small 2.6 cm tall crystal as sharp as this is also impressive. In great condition with a few micro-chips.
