Item Description
This is an interesting and uncommon Tsumeb specimen featuring semi-spherical groups of dark forest-green Malachite along with lime-green colored Duftite, which are coated by sparkling, lustrous, transparent drusy Quartz crystals. Quartz is not terribly common from Tsumeb, and to find a piece with a full coating of Quartz is not typical in my experience. The piece is in very good shape all around, save the periphery where it was separated from the pocket wall. The piece comes with a free custom acrylic display base.
From the collection of Alex Neufeld (#AN0306), whose label states that it was originally in the collection of Colin Owen.
