Olivenite (Shields Flynn Coll.)

Item Description

Scintillating gemmy rich olive-green olivenite micro needles are festooned in several of the sections of the dramatically segmented gossan matrix on this very rich and sculptural small cabinet from famed Tsumeb. The left section hosts larger, dark green lathes to about 4 mm. The world's finest olivenites come from Tsumeb and this is an excellent, rich and highly representative example with gemmy small crystals. Choice material from the Shields Flynn Collection.
