Tucson, Arizona, USANot only is the quality of this Mottramite from Tsumeb insane for what is ordinarily a very rare species but this magnificent small cabinet-sized display specimen shows you how amazing this species is. Forming a heavy dense aggregate of pure Mottramite, it is not only this richness in volume, but its superb external visual properties which make it so wonderful. Side on, it can be seen that the Mottramite forms florette-like growths rising up to a satiny glossy botryoidal surface. The whole is an intensely dark green colour to almost black but it is its velvet-like lustre that really catches ones attention. In wonderful condition this is a world-class Mottramite and was probably mined at Tsumeb mine in the first half of the 20th century. A textural delight, this piece comes from the generations-old Weyand collection in Tsumeb.
