Azurite

This specimen is a classic example of azurite from the renowned Tsumeb Mine, known for producing world-class minerals since the 1920s. The deep-blue, prismatic azurite crystals exhibit excellent lustre and sharp terminations, complemented by fibrous malachite micros. The piece is especially aesthetic, showcasing great balance and form. The bladed, spear-like habit of the main azurite is iconic for Tsumeb. The deep blue colour, brilliant lustre, and exceptional form make this a standout thumbnail example for collectors of Tsumeb classics.
