Item Description

This is a really good example of Zincolivenite and Tsumcorite from Tsumeb. This specimen is host to a group of large, chunky, emerald green crystals of Zincolivenite in intimate association with yellow-green Tsumcorite. The lustrous, translucent Zincolivenite group is tucked in an elongate vug with the largest crystal of 1 cm right in front. The crystals have sharp faces and great luster with translucent to gemmy clarity. Upon close inspection, especially with a loupe or a microscope, one can see that the Tsumcorite is quite well crystallized along the margin of the large vug and in some of the smaller vugs scattered around the matrix. Ex. Kay Robertson and Keith Hammond collections.
