Item Description

A striking, sharp and stout, tennantite pyramid is surrounded by smaller crystals on this showy, complete all-around specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. The crystals have high luster (uncommon for Tsumeb tennantite) and have a nifty blue-green coating of a copper sulfide. Ex Willy Israel Collection # 3296 and purchased from Clive Queit in 1986. Valued at $300.
