Item Description
Schultenite is a very rare lead arsenate and the famous, and now closed, Tsumeb Mine is the Type Locality for the species. This significant specimen consists of a glassy, one and a half inch, totally gem and completely colorless, slightly flattened, prismatic crystal of this super rare species! Two occurrences of Schultenite are known from Tsumeb, one from the 1920s and the second from the 1970s. This piece is from the 1970s find and is exceptional for the size, clarity, gemminess of the species! It is a HUGE crystal admittedly, it is a little rough, probably cleaved/broken on one edge and at the tip - but still one of the world's largest of species. For those inclined to value gem rough, this is ultimate rare gem rough of cutting grade, as well.
