Item Description

Tarnowitzite is the rare lead-rich variety of aragonite, with the very best examples easily coming from the famed Tsumeb Mine. A large, sharp, translucent, pearlescent, two-sided rhomb is aesthetically perched on matrix and well-accented by smaller hexagonal rhombs on this showy and excellent miniature from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Classic material.
