A fine, old-time combination specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. Well-developed quartz crystals are uncommon from Tsumeb. Sharp, iron oxide-coated quartz richly cover the front and back of this piece. Sprays of gemmy mimetite needles are scattered on tennantite crystals and on quartz crystals. The left side of the specimen features a 1.8 cm iron oxide-coated tennantite crystal with a few mimetite needles. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
