CKTSU-38 - Schultenite on Adamite var. Cuproadamite - $ 2250 SOLD Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Namibia miniature, 3.9 x 3.2 x 2.1 cm ex. Charlie Key
Nestled in a vug of massive black ore are gemmy and glassy, bright green crystals of cuproadamite, to .5 cm across. Associated with the cuproadamite are large crystals, to 1.0 cm across, of colorless, glassy and gemmy schultenite: a rare, lead, hydrogen arsenate. This is a VERY VERY rare species! Any specimen should be worht something, and a displayable rich miniature like this is the likes of which I have not seen for sale. The larger shard of schultenite is about 1.5 cm. the Sharper, but smaller complete crystals are about 7 mm. There is a 1 cm cleaved crystal showing a cleavage plane frontally on the bottom, as well.

MD-216060 - Adamite (Var: Cuprian Adamite), Schultenite, Bornite - - Archived Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia miniature, 3.5 x 2.8 x 1.3 cm.
3.5 x 2.8 x 1.3 cm. A rare and fine combination specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. A 2.6 cm, striking vug is lined with gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green cuprian adamite crystals in a matrix of sparkly, peacock-iridescent, copper-red, massive bornite. A real bonus at the end of the vug on this rarity is a 3 mm long lathe of colorless, gypsum-like schultenite. Schultenite is a very rare lead arsenate and Tsumeb is the Type Locality. Combination specimens of this type were found (very few), only once, in the 1970s at Tsumeb, as reported in the 1977 Mineralogical Record TSUMEB special issue. Ex. Prosper Williams Collection – he was a very respected Tsumeb importer specializing in such rarities.
