Emplaced nicely on matrix is a single, highly lustrous, and silvery crystal, 2 cm in length, of the rare zinc arsenate, Leitite. Burnt-orange Ludlockite, a rare lead, iron, arsenate, can be seen on and in the Leitite. This fascinating combo specimen is made even more remarkable by the fact that Tsumeb is the TYPE LOCALITY for both species!
