Imagine 9 cm tall Azurite crystal completely replaced by Tennantite! Tgis is really an exceptional and rare pseudomorph cast!

The specimen is out of the collection of Hildegard Königshofer, one of the leading and best mineral-painters. Her book "The mineral Art" is probably the most important publications of mineral paintings, the specimen will come with her personal label.
