Duftite on Tennantite

Item Description

A sculptural and RARE combination from Tsumeb. Green duftite coats a very artistic cluster botryoidal to nodular tennantite. Rounded tennantite itself is rare from Tsumeb, as nearly all pieces as tetrahedrons. You can see the sulfide ore peering through some of the gently bruised duftite-coated botryoids. The MINDAT Tsumeb photo galleries of tennantite and duftite feature nothing, that remotely resembles this very showy and rare combination. From a lead minerals collection.
