About the Item

This singular vintage combination specimen from the famed Tsumeb Mine in Namibia, sourced in the 1970s, presents a remarkable display of mineralogical beauty. Large, glassy, gem-quality Cerussite crystals scatter across a richly pigmented bed of vibrant turquoise Rosasite. The contrast between the cool blue-green Rosasite and the sparkling Cerussite creates a striking visual composition. Tsumeb is celebrated for producing some of the most exceptional secondary copper minerals in the world, and this classic association of Rosasite and Cerussite takes its place among the mine’s most coveted. These specimens are no longer being unearthed, so this represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own a timeless piece of mining history and to enrich any collection. Weight: 436 g
