Item Description
Tsumeb is the TYPE LOCALITY for Thometzekite, a very rare copper, lead, arsenate mineral. Exceptionally rich for the species, this large thumbnail is comprised of tabular to lathe-like, mm-sized, powdery-blue crystals that, in aggregate, cover the entirety of the top of the specimen, and a central vug just behind the top as standing upright. Smaller crystals are also present throughout. This might be one of the best, for overall quality, I have seen from Tsumeb. Named in 1985 for Wilhelm Thometzek, former general manager of the Tsumeb Mine from 1912-1922.
