Item Description
Carnevallite is an incompletely described ultra-rare mineral, unique to Tsumeb. It is a Cu-Gallium sulfide. It was discredited in 1980 (MINDAT). MINDAT does not show photographs of the mineral. Several minerals are noted on both sides of the germanium-rich ore. Ex Will Frech Collection, a noted Tsumeb collector and from Carter Rich, a respected rarities dealer.
