Description

Fine specimen richly decorated with countless reddish crystal aggregates of jamesite. In association with lots of green duftite crystal aggregates. Very richly decorated specimen and optically very appealing.

Jamesite is a type locality mineral in Tsumeb Mine and is only known from five localities worldwide.

Ex. Walter Richard KAHN specimen from the year 1980.

Important note: The specimens are from the renowned collection of Dr. Gerhard JUNG (Hagendorf specialist, after whom the mineral Jungite was named). Dr. Jung was very meticulous regarding the provenance of his pieces. The previous owner is often noted - it is noticeable that Dr. Jung apparently had good contacts with the famous Tsumeb collectors Walter Richard KAHN (Warikahnite) and Wolfgang BARTELKE (Bartelkeite) from the early 1970s to the late 1980s. Many of the pieces originally came from the hands of the aforementioned pioneers. The specimens of the JUNG collection with first-class and documented provenience are presented here.
