Item Description

Scintillating, tiny amber mimetite needles, to about 3 mm, line numerous vugs on this striking 360-degree combination from Tsumeb. The nubby boxwork matrix is tennantite blades accented with green malacite. One side hosts a field of saddle-shaped dolomite rhombs and scattered small quartz points are also scattered about. This is classic, showy and excellent combination material from this famed locale from the Wes Parker Collection.
