Description

Azurite, Cerussite, Arsentsumebite
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia
10.0 x 9.8 x 5.0 cm (3.94 x 3.86 x 1.97 in)

A fan-shaped cluster of well-formed, deeply blue Azurite crystals, reaching upwards of 4.0 centimeters. Most of the larger Azurite crystals are accented with defined striations, which are beautifully pronounced by the piece's luster. Minor associations of gemmy, lustrous Cerussite and pale green Arsentsumebite are spread across the entire specimen, with the majority consolidated to the bottom of the display view.

Ex. Colin Manlove collection.

More Information: This piece is in great condition. There is some minor bruising on the edges of a couple Azurite crystals.
