Item Description
Three rich forest-green, lustrous, translucent Olivenite prisms, to 6 mm, are aesthetically set in a vug on the blocky miniature matrix. The sculptural, undulating vug is lined with tiny, lustrous, olive-green Mottramite or Gartrellite (a rare complex arsenate discovered in 1990) botryoids, making a nice contrast to this showy and excellent combination. Tsumeb produced the world's finest olivenite specimens and this is a very fine combination example from the Shields Flynn Collection with his label.
