Item Description

A lovely miniature specimen of the highly sought after Tennantites from Tsumeb. This classic piece is was mined in the 1970s featuring many textbook tetrahedrons of Tennantite with sharp faces and a greenish overgrowth of Malachite. The largest crystal measures 2.1 cm on edge and the piece has great aesthetics and form. Only a tiny bit of damage, and it's crystallized all over. A great opportunity to purchase an eye-catching toenail of this beloved material. With the price of Tsumeb specimens rising daily, this is a great opportunity to snag a classic specimen from what is considered by most people to be the most prolific mineral locality in the world. Valued at $900.
