A rich specimen of the rare mineral Tsumcorite from the Type Location of Tsumeb Mine. The Tsumcorite invests several cavities on the specimen, accompanied by crystals of Wulfenite. The Tsumcorite forms a crystalline sparkling druse of platy crystals with a greenish-yellow to burnt orange colouration. Lustrous translucent, colourless to pale orange crystals of Wulfenite to 2 mm are sparsely scattered amongst the Tsumcorite. Both minerals have formed on a matrix of intergrown sulphides and Fe-oxides.
