Item Description
A nice association specimen from arguably the world's most prolific mineral locality, featuring attractive medium green colored chatoyant groups of Malachite sitting atop a matrix of Bornite according to the label, but I have an inclination that it's partially if not, completely Cuprite, as I've never seen Malachite on Bornite from Tsumeb before. From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
