Malachite after Azurite
specimen number:
1501690
location:
Tsumeb Mine, Otjikoto Region, Namibia
description:
Many blocky crystals of what were once azurite measuring to 1.6 cm in size, these now replaced by velvety deep green crystallized malachite, throughout a 15.0 x 12.0 x 4.0 cm matrix. This shows nicely all around with many good crystals even on what I would consider the backside of the piece. It is in very fine condition. Classic old Tsumeb specimen dating to pre-1958. Shipping weight: 1.82 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
Size: 15.0 x 12.0 x 4.0 cm (large-cabinet)
