This is a striking Tsumeb specimen that consists of amber-colored willemite crystals stacked into GLISTENING, brilliantly lustrous ball-shaped aggregates, the whole cluster completely translucent and sparkling as the multiple crystal faces catch the light. Small orange-red wulfenite crystals sprinkle the surface, as well. Complete on front and sides, this makes for a stunning and unusual Tsumeb willemite! This is the best example for its size that I have seen of the habit, and I sold it to the Sussmans some years ago. 6.5 x 3.5 x 3 cm
