Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely magnificent example of azurite with arsentsumebite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts several stunning clusters of wheatsheaf-like
azurite crystals aesthetically perched among an intensely colorful showing of arsentsumebite crystals!!! I must start off by saying that this specimen is WAY, WAY
more intensely colored than the pics show!!! For some reason, the pictures showed up washed out - however this specimen is wildly colorful in person!!!
The azurite crystals are razor-sharp, brilliantly lustrous, and in superb condition!!! The arsentsumebite crystals are significant and substantial - upon
close examination they are very well crystallized and gemmy!!! There is some lustrous reticulated cerussite in association,
as well as just a few primary malachite crystals!!! There is also an unidentified yellow mineral in association (as well as an additional unknown green mineral)!!!
This is a killer, older Tsumeb beauty that is truly of exceptional quality - both in terms of aesthetics and rarity!!! The pictures don't
even come close to showing just how incredible this stunning specimen is in person!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11th!!!
