Description

This fine specimen features deep green Malachite psm Azurite, a typical Tsumeb pseudomorphosis. The crystals are well defined, sharp edged and they are showing that well known silky luster. The main crystals is undamaged and also the other smaller crystals are almost intact. Under magnification I have seen slightly "stout needles" of whatever.....   In any case a good piece.
