Azurite
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region, Namibia
Miniature, 4.0 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm
SOLD
A very rare habit of azurite from the world's premier azurite locality (the world's premier MINERAL SPECIMEN locality, for that matter). The vast majority of Tsumeb azurites are groups of blocky or wide bladed crystals. Here, you have a bursting BUSH of very slender crystals! The terminations are naturally rough, so it is difficult to make out any broken or contacted ones. A very special and DIFFERENT piece for a Tsumeb collector that will stand out from the usual "classics" from this great mine.
