Tucson, Arizona, USAThis lovely large miniature of pistachio green Mottramite is from the Tsumeb mine in the Oshikoto Region of Namibia. It is a terrific, branching, dendritic example, like those I remember more widely available during the mid to late 1980s. The specimen is entirely composed of dendritic Mottramite, so creating a highly porous specimen of inter connected and intergrown crystallised branches. Individual, opaque Mottramite crystals with a glassy lustre join to form the branching structures, so characteristic of old material from Tsumeb. A charming and splendid example of this anhydrous vanadate hydroxide, named for the village of Mottram St. Andrew in north Cheshire, England.\n
