Pearlescent gemmy green crystals with a faint hint of yellow showing unusual modified faces. This piece came labeled as Tsumeb but the matrix seems off to me so could be one of the nearby mines (Berg Aukus). Thus the very affordable price for such a quality piece.
Locality: Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb Namibia
Composition: lead carbonate
Dimensions:
10.5 × 6.1 × 3.4 cm
