Namibite (ex Matioli Collection)

Item Description

A very interesting and rarely seen specimen of Namibite from the type locality in Namibia. This rare Cu-Bi-vanadate is only found in 9 countries around the world. It features dark green brilliant triclinic crystals associated with Cuprotungsite and Malachite on Quartz matrix. You don't see these available on the market, and it's a more than worthwhile example of this hard to find mineral for any species collector, especially species from the type locality. Ex Paolo Matioli Collection.
