Ludlockite and leiteite are two of the very rare and highly desirable species for which the Tsumeb Mine is the Type Locality. To get both in a fine specimen on rich germanite ore is a triple bonus. Bright, burnt orange ludlockite hairs are richly scattered on highly lustrous, colorless plates of leiteite. This combination was found but rarely in the final days of Tsumeb. Ex.
