A pleasing group of three well-formed, white intergrown prismatic Tarnowitzite crystals with a further part crystal protruding at an angle from the base. From the Tsumeb mine in Namibia, Tarnowitzite is the lead-enriched variety of Aragonite and here forms three lustrous glassy, well-terminated prisms to at least 4.4 cm tall. Under LWUV the entire specimen fluoresces reasonably bright lemon yellow.
