Item Description
Tarbuttite is an ultra-rare zinc phosphate and the famous Broken Hill Mine of Zambia is the Type Locality. Scintillating, very gemmy, water-clear, colorless tarbuttite crystals richly cover the vuggy sculptural gossan matrix on this fine old-timer from 1960s or earlier. RARE in this quality and richness.
