Malachite after Azurite with Azurite, Cerussite, and Willemite after Cerussite
Mammoth-Saint Anthony Mine, St. Anthony deposit, Tiger, Mammoth District, Pinal Co., Arizona
3.55cm x 2.37cm x 2.11cm
Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of malachite after azurite from Tiger!!! This specimen hosts a showy cluster of razor-sharp, pristine malachite pseudomorphs after
azurite crystals with a few scattered unaltered azurite crystals on a matrix of cerussite and willemite pseudomorph after cerussite crystals!!! This specimen is
in amazing condition all around and is very showy!!! The crystals have brilliant color and lively chatoyance due to the fibrous malachite crystals!!!
The pseudomorphs are remarkably sharp and most are doubly terminated!!! The azurite crystals have some complex features and partial alteration to malachite as well!!!
The cerussite crystals are lustrous and well formed and there is a significant amount of fine, reticulated cerussite crystals that have
been completely replaced by tiny willemite crystals!!! There is an unidentified light green mineral in association as well!!!
This is a killer specimen from Tiger - if I didn't know better, I'd say it was from Tsumeb!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
