Tennantite Pseudomorph After Azurite
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
An aesthetic and superb pseudomorph from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. Ultra-sharp Tennantite pseudomorphs after Azurite crystals are aesthetically mounted jackstraw fashion on matrix with needle Quartz. The 2.8 cm, doubly terminated, dark matte-gray pseudo has a very sharp chisel termination. Tennantite pseudos after azurite are rare from Tsumeb and this is a really good one. Ex Rob Smith Colllection, a noted Tsumeb specialist.
