Exceptionally fine example of the classic Tsumeb Malachite after Azurite. The Azurite on this specimen has only started to be replaced leaving the Azurite crystal extremely sharp in form with a few patches of the blue Azurite showing. The Malachite is not a dull green rather it's bright and chatoyant and you can see radial, vibrant green banding on both sides of the main crystal. Undamaged with a few other minor crystals on the matrix to top it off. Ex. Roland Sherman and Carl Acosta collections.
