Well, this is certainly not your usual Tsumeb specimen! Like a Coral polyp of the most wonderful pale blue colour plucked from some tropical sea, this bifurcating Chrysocolla stalactite has wonderful appeal. It is a good miniature in size, large enough to make a statement on display. Its gently undulating surface is rippled with layers appearing to have been drizzled one upon another. Each segment is gently colour zoned from pale turquoise-blue to almost white and these ridges provide great definition in form and texture. A really wonderful, and extremely unusual Tsumeb specimen.
