Wulfenite on Tennantite
Unknown Owner
A fantastic miniature specimen from John Schneider's famous Tsumeb collection which packs a punch well above its weight! Intergrown well-formed crystals of tetragonal Tennantite are dusted earthy light leaf-green and lemon-yellow with micro-crystals of Duftite and Mimetite with greyish-white Dolomite crystals. Over these are many highly reflective, Wulfenite crystals of bright resinous lustre, as bevelled square tabular crystals. This contrast of habits, colours and lustres combine to form a terrific specimen from the classic Tsumeb mine in Namibia. One can easily see why John Schneider choose it for his award winning Tsumeb collection.
