This vibrant specimen features lustrous Azurite crystals with rich indigo hues, intricately paired with fibrous green Malachite and glittering micro Quartz druse. The Azurite displays classic prismatic habit with sharp edges, while the Malachite forms elegant, satiny tufts and botryoidal growths. The Quartz sparkles across the surface, adding a natural brilliance and fine texture.
Collected from the Easter Pocket in 1994, this piece represents one of Tsumeb finest combinations—distinct, colourful, and structurally complex. The visual contrast, mineral balance, and historical provenance make it a museum-grade specimen ideal for display, advanced collections, or as a heritage investment.
