Item Description

Conichalcite is rare from renowned Tsumeb and this is a very attractive and colorful miniature combination. Rich forest-green lustrous spheroids, to 2 mm, are richly peppered on the undulating starkly contrasting matrix covered with sparkly pearlescent pretty pastel-pink cobaltoan dolomite rhombs. Combinations such as this, with isolated conichalcites are rare and this is an exceptional example. Classic, rare and highly desirable combination material from Tsumeb.
