$ 395.00 SOLD
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia, Africa
small cabinet - 5.4 x 4.9 x 4.3 cm

This specimen consists of a calcite matrix made up of numerous rhombs that have been nearly completely covered by dendritic aggregates of forest green mottramite xls to around 5mm. I say dendritic because being a forester, the groups look like needle clusters to me. This specimen is basically intact except for a few trivial dings, only visible under magnification. This is a somewhat rare, unique and very attractive specimen from a defunct and world class locality.
