A TSUMEB CLASSIC WITH EXCEPTIONAL PROVENANCE

A TSUMEB CLASSIC WITH EXCEPTIONAL PROVENANCE.

There are few localities in the mineral world that have produced legends quite like the Tsumeb Mine. This stunning combination of razor-sharp, deep cobalt-blue Azurite crystals perched on a richly textured coating of vibrant green Arsentsumebite is exactly the kind of association that has made Tsumeb one of the most celebrated mines in history.

The striking contrast between the mirror-luster Azurite and the velvety green Arsentsumebite creates a specimen that’s impossible to overlook. Every angle reveals another perfectly terminated crystal emerging from a landscape of intense color and texture.

Even better, this piece comes with excellent provenance:

Tsumeb Mine, Otjikoto, Namibia Ex. Otto Gruson Collection Ex. Weinrich Minerals, Inc.

Tsumeb closed decades ago, and specimens with this combination of aesthetics, rarity, and documented provenance continue to become more desirable with each passing year. Pieces like this remind us why Tsumeb remains one of the greatest mineral localities ever discovered.

The hunt never stops.
