This choice miniature, surprisingly, is not from Tsumeb, but its nearby neighbor, Berg Aukas. The crystals are pastel yellow, lustrous, translucent, and appear to have some sort of stepped growth. The crystals reach 2.5 cm in length. These are often mislabeled as being from Tsumeb, by the way. 3.1 x 2.7 x 2.3 cm
