Item Description

Schneiderhohnite (complex Fe-arsenite) is one of the many Holy Grail rarities, for which Tsumeb is famous and is also the Type Locality. To find it in such fine crystals (exceeding 1.2 cm in size) AND aesthetically put together makes this virtually incomparable as a display thumbnail. Just look at how lustrous and sharp these crystals are, and how aesthetic the cluster is! This is a killer specimen for the species, no matter what size you are talking about. Ex Marshall Sussman Collection and acquired from Clive Queit in 1994. Valued $1500-2000 for quality an dultra-rarity!
