Item Description

Sharp and lustrous crystals of tarnowitzite sparkle on matrix, showing off the lead-rich cousin of aragonite that forms at only a few places, such as Tsumeb and Morocco. Unusually lustrous (most have a matte finish). Overall, aesthetic and large. Sometimes these are labelled as "nicholsonite" in previous labels as well. This is just a really cute specimen of the classic style crystals, but prettier than most.
