Wire transfers available, to set up
Zincolivenite is one of the iconic rare species from Tsumeb mine which is really unrivalled in quality and appearance from anywhere else on Earth. As a species it combines rarity with exceptional beauty. Once regarded as a variety of either zinc-rich Olivenite or copper-rich Adamite it is now (since 2006) classified in its own right, with Tsumeb mine being the undisputed king of occurrences for the finest crystals both in terms of size and dramatic colour. This exceptionally well crystallized miniature specimen is from the Weyand collection held in Tsumeb for generations, and features the classic vivid green glossy wedge-shaped crystals for which Tsumeb mine is renowned. On this specimen the crystals exceptionally reach 9 mm across and are dispersed as individuals and small clusters across the yellow to grey Tsumcorite-rich matrix. The Zincolivenite crystals are all really well formed and in excellent condition with a superb slightly resinous glossy lustre. An extremely rich and very displayable example of this classic species from Tsumeb and in a rarely seen size and quality.
