Item Description
Tsumeb is considered the greatest mine of all time, certainly when it comes to the range and quality of the mineral specimens from there, but for some reason galena is itself scarce here. Both Galena and Quartz are more on the uncommon side, but to have them in combination automatically makes this miniature even more unusual! The Galenas reach up to 1.6 cm, and the sharp, often-gemmy Quartz crystals reach 6 mm. Granted, this isn't an elegant or eye-popping piece, but for what it is, this miniature more than holds its own. From the noted historic classics collection of Richard 'Dick' Hauck of New Jersey. This is a significant Tsumeb galena in the size range
