Description

A fine example of the very rarely seen mineral Tennantite from the world-famous Tsumeb Mine in Namibia. The specimen features a well-formed metallic crystal with attractive surface textures and subtle blue-to-violet tarnish tones across the faces. It sits on contrasting white host rock, which gives the piece a pleasing visual balance and highlights the mineral’s dark metallic character. A scarce and visually appealing specimen from this legendary locality.
