Azurite, Cerussite

This miniature specimen from the Tsumeb Mine, Namibia features a cerussite-lined vug richly adorned with sparkling, lustrous azurite crystals. There are accents of green malachite on the matrix. The interplay of these species exemplifies the extraordinary paragenesis that has made Tsumeb one of the world’s most celebrated mineral localities. Attractive, balanced, and scientifically significant, this piece stands as an excellent representative miniature from this legendary deposit.
