Mottramite is a common lead, copper, zinc, vanadium ore at Tsumeb that rarely forms attractive specimens. This excellent piece is a distinct exception, as this very showy, 3-dimensional specimen is solid, sparkly, moss-green mottramite with aesthetic, arborescent crystal clusters. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
