OLDEURO-13
Azurite on Bayldonite
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region, Namibia
Small Cabinet, 8.5 x 6.1 x 4.8 cm
SOLD
A gorgeous, intensely colored specimen of sharp doubly-termianted azurites to 1.5 cm, perched on evergreen-colored massive bayldonite. The solid mass of bayldonite is in part pseudomorphous after mimetite, I would guess, as there are small pockets of sharp replaced crystals within the larger mass. In any case, a beautiful combo piece almost certainly from the first and oldest mined oxidation zone of Tsumeb.
