Azurite, Malachite

This miniature specimen from the Tsumeb Mine, Namibia features a well-defined vug richly lined with sparkling, lustrous azurite crystals to a couple of mm. The deep, electric-blue azurite is complemented by a delicate scattering of tiny, light green malachite. Attractive and balanced, this is an excellent representative miniature specimen from one of the world’s most important and historic localities.
