Otavite with Azurite & MalachiteTsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia4.2cm x 3.26cm x 2.9cm
Description/Interesting Notes: A very rare example of otavite with azurite and malachite from the type locale, Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of whitish colored otavite on an attractive matrix of malachite after azurite!!! This is OLD material from the original, early finds!!! Not only is this a classic association, ...it is actually a very handsome specimen as well - the robust malachite after azurite pseudomorphs exhibit gorgeous radiating chatoyance and areas of glassy, unaltered azurite as well!!! Upon close inspection the otavite exhibits a slightly pearly appearance in some areas and ranges from crusts to tiny well formed crystals!!! Confirmed material!!! This specimen likely dates back 100 years or more!!! This specimen retains an old, unattributed affixed label as well!!! A superb example of this very rare and sought after species!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
