Description

Definitely an old-time, dramatic, and striking combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb mine. Lustrous and sharp, intergrown deep blue Azurite crystals up to 1 cm in diameter center a mounded druse in a matrix composed almost entirely of sparkling, typical apple-green Arsentsumebite microcrystals. Tsumeb is the TYPE LOCALITY for this extremely RARE lead-copper arsenate, which is rare even in Tsumeb. This is a rich Arsentsumebite specimen. This is an old specimen from the 1st oxidation level of Tsumeb, known to have come out prior to the 1920s and likely much older
