Item Description

A gorgeous and specimen from Tsumeb featuring beautiful greenish-blue groups of semi-velvety Rosasite with a handful of sharp, well-formed, slightly smoky colored Cerussites on Dolomite matrix. The color contrast, associations and the fact that this is older material from Tsumeb makes it a very desirable display piece for a collector of native elements or Tsumeb minerals. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#8746). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
