Azurite with Mottramite

Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia

Miniature

4.6 x 3 x 2.2 cm

This is an odd specimen, featuring two well developed and dark blue crystals of Azurite. The Azurite is mirror bright on some surfaces, and is dulled by etching on other faces. A few sections of olive green mottramite coat some of the surfaces. The terminations are mostly incomplete and there is a rather large chip. Not in perfect condition, but still a unique piece with great aesthetics from the famous Tsumeb locality.
