A quite striking larger individual Malachite pseudomorph after a bladed Azurite crystal from the world-famous Tsumeb mine in Namibia. At over 5 cm tall, the main crystal is a very good size for this type of pseudomorph from Tsumeb and is accompanied by a little white Cerussite around its base, along with a smaller (1 cm) sharp bladed Malachite pseudomorph pointing downwards. Both the main pseudomorph and the smaller one display a wonderful radial surface texture where the compact acicular velvety Malachite has grown seamlessly into the shape of the former Azurite crystals. In superb overall condition this is a really fine larger miniature-sized specimen worthy of display.
