Item Description
Mottramite is a common lead, copper, zinc, vanadium ore at Tsumeb, that rarely forms attractive specimens. This excellent piece is a distinct exception, as this very showy, sculptural, CABINET, specimen is a crust of botryoidal, moss-green, mottramite on matrix. Damage-free, except along the periphery. This unusual looking elongate specimen has an exotic, biomorphic look to it. Valued at $750
