A super miniature of dark green (almost black) to pistachio green Mottramite, forming plumes of foliated crystals in frond-like clusters. This choice example reminds me of the Tsumeb Mottramites which were often seen at mineral shows during the mid to late 1980s, the likes of which I have scarcely seen since. The lighter pistachio green plumes surround the more central core of dark crystals, yet where cross sections of the dark crystals are visible, their interior is the lighter colour. The Mottramite covers a white Dolomite matrix from the Tsumeb mine in the Oshikoto Region of Namibia.
