Mottramite

Item Description

A fairly hard to find, and fine quality display specimen of Mottramite from Tsumeb with attractive, sparkling, deep olive green colored spherical aggregates with minor associated rhombic Calcite on matrix. The color and quality very nice for Tsumeb, and honestly the species in general. The specimens will actually sit beautifully on its own without the aid of a base or clay.
From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, a medical doctor and prominent mineral collector from near Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.mindat.org/user-11954.html). He assembled his mineral collection over the course of 60 years, and built a fine worldwide display collection that we recently purchased.
