The Tsumeb mine is regarded in the mineral collecting world by many as the greatest locality overall. Including a wide range of species, rich history, and type locale specimens, the depth of collectability often goes far beyond the visual appeal. The mine was first discovered on January 21, 1893, by Matthew Rogers. It was initially described as “The Green Hill”. The mine would operate for just over a century, shutting down in 1996 for economic reasons. Tsumeb is considered a world-class quality producer of Adamite, Azurite, Cerussite, Dioptase, Mimetite, Tennantite, and many other species. It is home to 76 Type Locality Minerals.
This is an absolutely classic example of malachite pseudomorphing azurite with bayldonite association, from the world renowned Tsumeb Mine. A focal crystal presents itself centralized in the matrix with aesthetics. Mounted to an acrylic base.
