Item Description
Scintillating clusters of sprays of gemmy, greenish-gray, duftite needles are richly scattered on matrix on this Tsumeb rarity from the collection of rarities specialist, Dr. Mark Feinglos. We have spent hundreds of dollars on chemistry and XRD analyses to confirm that this is an extremely RARE form of alpha duftite and not some even more super rare, wierder thing.. This specimen may be unique for Tsumeb on the market in that it is truly confirmed every which way.
