Item Description
An exceptionally aesthetic miniature cluster of lustrous, pearlescent, tapered, tarnowitzite crystals from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. Tarnowitzite is the moderately rare lead-rich variety of aragonite and this is a good one. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb specialist.
