This choice thumbnail specimen from Tsumeb mine is a stunning example of Zincolivenite crystals. Not only are these crystals the most desirable glossy leaf green colour, but they are large (at up to 9 mm across) and well-formed and rise up strikingly from a contrasting bright yellow matrix of Ferrilotharmeyerite. Ex Benjamin Schumer collection, no. 2004.
