Item Description

Tsumebite is a rather rare Lead Copper Phosphate Sulfate and is only found from a few world localities. It was obviouly named after the famous Tsumeb mine in Namibia. This piece is a good reference specimen featuring green micro crystal aggregates of Tsumebite on matrix. If nothing else it is a unique collector's specimen from this secondary ore mineral locality in California.
