Item Description
A showy and excellent specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine and the Dave Stoudt Collection. An impressive floret-like cluster of sharp, lustrous, translucent, light tan aragonite variety tarnowitzite crystals are aesthetically set on the gossan crust. The tarnowitzite crystals reach 4.2 cm and this piece looks great from either side. Beautifully pristine. Valued $450.
