5atkrnr ((QUARTZ, CALCITE with MALACHITE pseudomorphs after CUPRITE?)), $15 MINIMUM BID,  Tsumeb, Namibia,  9 x 5.5 x 3 cm, Cabinet




Here is a cabinet sized specimen of terminated Quartz and rhombs of Calcite coated with a brown iron oxide coating. On the top of the Quartz and Calcite are what appear to be green Malachite pseudomorphs after Cuprite. They are also on the bottom of the specimen. They do not show the octahedral Cuprite form. Instead they are clusters made up of small spherical green Malachite. I guess they might not actually be Pseudos after Cuprite. On the flat underside there are small individual Malachite spheres to clusters of many Malachite spheres . ex Uri
