Item Description
Arsentsumebite is one of the rare lead, copper mineral species for which Tsumeb is famous and is the Type Locality. This is an EXCELLENT, VERY RICH, two-sided, combination specimen with lots of grass-green arsentsumebite, lustrous, contrasting azurite and a bit of lighter green, balydonite on one side. A fine, rich rarity from this classic and now-closed locale. Old material, probably predating the 1920s. Valued $400-500
