A super rich small cabinet specimen of Tsumcorite with Wulfenite and Duftite from its type locality at the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. Bright yellow to slightly greenish yellow Tsumcorite forms a drusy coverage of crystals, richly lining a shallow cavity in a Goethite-Dolomite matrix. Tsumcorite is a rare hydrated lead-zinc arsenate and is named for the Tsumeb Corporation mine. Crystals of colourless to caramel tinted Wulfenite are in association with the Tsumcorite, many showing dissolution. Several of the Wulfenites have been partly or completely overgrown by well-formed, mostly deep olive green Duftite micro-crystals. Other areas on the specimen are also covered with crystallised Tsumcorite, Wulfenite and Duftite. A particularly fine and rich specimen from Tsumeb.
