At 4.5 cm in length this is quite a long sword-like bladed Azurite crystal from Tsumeb mine. It is extremely dark blue in colour, but glossy, and is in really good all-round condition with a very small piece of matrix attached. It is actually a composite crystal, with other smaller crystals developed parallel along one side, but on the other side it is seen that the main crystal runs for the full length of the specimen. A very nice Tsumeb Azurite.
