Choice combo piece here featuring sharp, gemmy Mimetite crystals with a canary-yellow color perched on tan to creamy Dolomite crystals together on a dark sulfide matrix. The three rounded Dolomite formations at left seem suspiciously like casts or pseudomorphs of some sort. With Tsumeb, anything goes! One of the richest ore bodies in the world, the Tsumeb Mine produced millions of tons of metallic ores as well as numerous varieties of minerals, in all sorts of combinations! This is a striking, aesthetic specimen not to be ignored!
