Wulfenite, Smithsonite, Mottramite

This striking miniature specimen from Tsumeb showcases several tiny but brilliant, gemmy yellow wulfenite crystals beautifully scattered across a matrix richly adorned with attractive light olive-green mottramite aggregates on a bed of sharp, white rhombic calcite crystals. The wulfenite crystals, with their glassy lustre and translucency, stand out sharply against the darker mottramite and the clean calcite backdrop. Classic combinations like this are emblematic of Tsumeb’s mineralogical diversity and are especially prized by collectors for their rarity, vibrancy, and display quality.
