Description/Interesting Notes:
A VERY RARE example of tsumgallite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a very rich portion of gallite and germanite ore that hosts eye-visible
areas of tsumgallite!!! The specimen has been expertly polished to a mirror-finish on both sides!!! This thick, hefty specimen has
dramatic purplish-red metallic color that reveal its rich content of gallite and germanite!!! While there are microscopic grains and veinlets scattered throughout the specimen, there is a substantial eye visible vein present
on one of the polished faces and - a small portion of crystalline material on the side of the specimen!!! This specimen retains a label from Bill Pinch with
Innes Collection notation!!! This specimen was been confirmed and retains its analysis as well!!! This is a VERY valuable specimen - examples of
tsumgallite are extraordinarily rare and highly sought after!!! This rich, hefty specimen is thick and substantial!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Don't miss
out on this rare opportunity!!!
