Item Description
A very interesting, showy and UNCOMMON combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. Green, malachite-coated, tennantite crystals to 1.0 cm are aesthetically scattered on the very 3-dimensional, mounded matrix of essentially, solid, bladed to acicular quartz crystals. Quartz is relatively rare at Tsumeb and these are sharp, well-developed crystals. A BONUS on the back/bottom is a really cute, isolated 5 mm wulfenite crystal! Ex Rob Smith Collection.
