T550 - Cuprian Adamite $ 450 (=~ CAN$ 618) Tsumeb, Namibia thumbnail - 2.2 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm Undamaged clusters of deep forest green, slightly curving crystals of Cuprian Adamite on matrix.
T870 - Azurite $ 3500 (=~ CAN$ 4803) Tsumeb, Namibia small cabinet - 9 x 5.5 x 4.5 cm Cluster of large, partially etched Azurite crystals from Tsumeb. Fully crystallized all around, even part of the bottom is recrystallized! There is a small indentation showing Malachite on the lower front face (possibly damage, possibly natural), and the lower backside of the back crystal has some indentations/contact from another former Azurite crystal. Otherwise good all around. These good large Tsumeb Azurites are very hard to come by now.
C468 - Cerussite $ 240 (=~ CAN$ 329) Tsumeb, Namibia small cabinet - 5.8 x 5 x 2.5 cm Floater specimen of Cerussite crystals on matrix with green Duftite. Crystallized all around with a perfectly centered 'snowflake' Cerussite crystal of 1.3cm. Insignificant damage to some crystals.
C485 - Azurite with Malachite $ 3500 (=~ CAN$ 4803) Tsumeb, Namibia cabinet - 10 x 5 x 4.5 cm Azurite partially altered to Malchite, with the Malachite forming fine 'bulls-eye' patterns. The Azurite is sharply formed with lustrous faces. The back is a large 10cm partial crystal and there are 2 terminated Azurite crystals attached to the front, the best is 5cm tall and grown out away from the largest crystal.
C614 - Cuprian Smithsonite $ 950 (=~ CAN$ 1304) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 4.5 x 4 x 3.5 cm Green Cuprian Smithsonite rhombs lining a vug in matrix.
SM440 - Duftite on Cerussite $ 150 (=~ CAN$ 206) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 4.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm Transparent, reticulated Cerussite crystals partially coated by green Duftite.
AR55 - Wulfenite $ 260 (=~ CAN$ 357) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 3.2 x 2.7 x 1.5 cm About a dozen sharply terminated cream-colored tabular Wulfenite crystals are stacked on a bit of host matrix. An older Tsumeb example with a Frazier's Minerals label from decades ago. Slight chipping on some of the crystal edges does not detract from the beautiful display presentation of the crystals.
J680 - Calcite with Duftite $ 750 (=~ CAN$ 1029) Tsumeb, Namibia small cabinet - 9.0 x 6.5 x 6 cm Mound-shaped matrix covered by green Duftite and small Calcite crystals with groupings and single larger Calcites to 3.5cm. Minor chipping to some edges but in overall great condition and very showy from all angles, good from all sides. A very sculptural and attractive Calcite.
J419 - Smithsonite $ 300 (=~ CAN$ 412) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 4.4 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm Undamaged cluster of yellow Smithsonite crystals on matrix. Crystals reach 2cm in size. A good example of Tsumeb Smithsonite, considered teh world's best, and no longer being found.
M326 - Mottramite on/in Calcite $ 150 (=~ CAN$ 206) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 4.2 x 3.7 x 3 cm Cluster of rhombic and lenticular Calcite crystals heavily included with green Mottramite that also protrudes out the Calcite. Good all around. One of my favorite types of Tsumeb specimens. Comes with an old Lesnicks label.
M328 - Olivenite $ 95 (=~ CAN$ 130) Tsumeb, Namibia small cabinet - 6 x 4 x 2.5 cm Heavy metallic matrix filled with Olivenite crystal lined vugs. Small spheres of Malachite are present on the Olivenite crystals. Comes with an old Mathiasen Minerals label.
M388 - Copper with Calcite, Cerussite $ 150 (=~ CAN$ 206) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 4 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm Black rock matrix (with included crystals of an unidentified species) with white Rhombic Calcite crystals (old Fraziers label inidcates the Calcite is fluorescent). Copper runs throughout the specimen, and is exposed in the central vug area, along with a small cluster of transparent Cerussite crystals.
M406 - Cerussite on Copper Tsumeb, Namibia small cabinet - 8 x 6 x 4.5 cm Large mass of Copper crystals with attached Cerussite crystals. The Cerussite crystals show etching. Good dark patina.
M421 - Copper with ? $ 240 (=~ CAN$ 329) Tsumeb, Namibia miniature - 4 x 3 x 1.5 cm Branching, arborescent cluster of Copper crystals from Tsumeb. One side of the cluster is coated by tiny acicular 'fuzzy' brown/black crystals of an unknown species.
D239 - Azurite, Cerussite $ 225 (=~ CAN$ 309) Tsumeb, Namibia small cabinet - 5.3 x 3.5 x 2.3 cm Crystals of Azurite and Cerussite on a matrix of crystalline Cerussite. The Azurite crystals are translucent when backlit. Additional green and yellow mineralization make it a colorful specimen.
