An impressive miniature of Malachite pseudomorphs after Azurite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. A fan-like array of very sharp, well defined leafy-emerald-green Malachite crystals pseudomorphed after Azurite stand in a naturally etched calcitic matrix, most crystals being about 1.8 cm tall with a velvet texture. A great miniature with superbly defined pseudomorphed crystals.
