A splendid small miniature rich in Zincolivenite crystals covering a box work structured carbonate matrix, very in keeping with the karstic environment within the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. The Zincolivenite crystals average between 1 and 2 mm and up to 3 mm; they are opaque light minty green and contrast well against the brick red and dirty white cellular matrix. The species Zincolivenite represents the intermediate member of the solid solution series between Olivenite and Adamite. An excellent representative example of this species from Tsumeb
