Some remarkable finds were made in a small mine about 40 km southeast of Lake Namak. The mine has no official name and no further mining takes place there.
Mainly azurite and malachite were found, some specimens even have pseudomorphs from azurite to malachite (similar to the specimens from Tsumeb).
This piece has this kind of pseudomorphs together with deep blue azurite. You can clearly see the transition from azurite to malachite.
