Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia
Miniature, 5.0 x 4.0 x 3.0 cm
SOLD
This unique combination piece features doubly-terminated anglesite crystals to almost 2 cm overgrowing the tips of a sharp tennantite crystal! The tennantite is perched at the tip of a thin plate of massive tennatite matrix coated with dolomite crystals ... the piece is much better in person than indicated! A superb Tsumeb miniature for all of these reasons: aesthetics, rarity, and the unusual combination of these two mineral species. Erik Louw was a miner on the dioptase stope who traded extensively and accumulated one of the finest Tsumeb miniatures collections, purchased in entirety by the Sussmans in the late 1990's. 5 x 4 x 3 cm
