Item Description

Arsentsumebite is one of the rare lead, copper mineral species for which Tsumeb is famous and is the Type Locality. This is an excellent, very rich combination specimen with lots of grass-green arsentsumebite crystals with scattered, lustrous, contrasting anglesite crystals. A fine, rich combination rarity from this classic and now-closed locale. A significantly rich specimen just loaded with more of this rare species than you normally would ever expect to see in one place! AND, its a beautiful, display-quality miniature besides. And green...Who could want more in an obscure rarity!? There is more on the back, as a bonus! Ex Willy Israel Collection # 2779 and purchased in 1984. valued highly
