Item Description

Cuprian adamite is one of the most coveted species at famed Tsumeb and this is a rich and showy small cabinet combination example from the Shields Flynn Collection. A 2.5 x 2.0 cm dense cluster of beautiful rich emerald-green gemmy lathes, to 8 mm, is aesthetically set atop the sculptural vuggy hefty sulfide matrix. Vugs of scintillating tiny olive-green olivenite crystals dramatically cascade down the front of the piece accented with scattered small vugs of olivenite crystals. There are more adamites scattered among the olivenites, adding pizzazz. Cuprian adamite and olivenite combinations of this quality and richness are very uncommon from Tsumeb. Here's your chance to get a very fine combination at a reasonable price point.
