WOW! What an amazing azurite specimen from down under! Sharp and well formed crystals to 3.3 cm are perched on a gossan matrix individually and in clusters. An old label indicates that the piece was sold in 1897, later it came to famous Austrian dealer and collector Anton Berger. There is no damage on any side, the piece is very showy all around. Great provenance and display qualities!

Malachite roses ps. after a doubly terminated azurite crystal! The malachite has formed wonderful flower patterns within the shape of the former azurite crystal. This style of replacement is by far the best and most attractive i have ever seen from Tsumeb or any other locality in the world. Gorgeous quality and visual impact, a sheer unbelievable piece from this classic locale! Ex Prof. Siegmund collection, a famous and well-known Austrian collector in the mid of the last century. Price on request.
