Mimetite, Quartz
Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia
Small Cabinet, 5.6 x 3.1 x 2.1 cm
SOLD
Superb, gemmy, yellow mimetite crystals to 7 mm are richly and attractively scattered on the sulfide matrix plate and are very nicely complimented by the multitude of sharp, oxide-stained quartz crystals on this uncommon and excellent combination piece from the Tsumeb Mine. The mimetites, while small, are way above average for this renowned locale. Well-crystallized quartz is relatively uncommon from Tsumeb and to have sharp crystals associated with gemmy mimetites, is indeed, exceptional and rare.
