Large, chunky Olivenite crystals in a dense cluster with small spherical groups of Malachite attached, likely from the first oxidation zone. There is also a partial psuedomorph of Malachite after Azurite and Azurite crystals in the center. Individual Olivenite crystals reach over 1cm long and 5mm wide across the chisel terminations. This specimen holds it own with any Tsumeb Olivenite pictured on Mindat or in the Tsumeb II book. One heck of an impressive Olivenite!!
