Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of brochantite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen is comprised almost entirely of rich emerald green brochantite crystals
in association with a small amount of fibrous green malachite!!! The brochante crystals are sharp, lustrous, and gemmy!!! The brochantite crystals are
large and in magnificent condition!!! There is a tiny area of fibrous malachite located on one corner of the specimen as well!!! Both sides of this specimen host
a gorgeous showing of gemmy, undamaged, emerald green crystals of brochantite!!! In many cases, fine
examples of brochantite from Tsumeb often turn out to be malachite or other species - however this specimen is confirmed brochantite!!! This old time beauty
retains an old Schortmann's label as well!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 1ST!!!
