An uncommon and beautiful combination specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. Sharp, euhedral quartz crystals are relatively rare from this historic mine, but this excellent piece is covered with a forest of glassy, translucent quartz crystals with a pretty, pink, oxide tint. A 9 mm, euhedral galena crystal is perched on one corner of the specimen and is a very nice contrasting accent. Scattered about on the quartz crystals are tiny, 1-2 mm, light brown wulfenites. Wulfenite on quartz is rare from Tsumeb. Ex. Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb specialist.
