Zincolivenite from Tsumeb Mine, Namibia
from Tsumeb is the modern name for much of the vivid green “cuproadamite” and “cuprian adamite” that circulated for decades from this legendary Namibian mine. It sits between adamite and olivenite in the adamite–olivenite solid-solution series, with ideal composition CuZn(AsO4)(OH), and Tsumeb is one of the places where that chemistry becomes a collector’s problem as much as a mineralogical one: color, habit, and zoning can suggest the identity, but the most careful determinations rely on quantitative chemical analysis.
