Tarbuttite with Hemimorphite

Skorpion Mine, Rosh Pina, Luderitz District, Karas Region, Namibia

Size 6.8x3.7x2.7cm

Price £165



Rich specimen covered in tarbuttite blades up to 7mm long. The tarbuttite is a transparent sea-green with white outer margins (hydrozincite?) and sprinkled with small, transparent hemimorphite crystals. Some tarbuttite crystals are missing terminations however this allows the green colour to show through and arguably does not detract from the aesthetics of the specimen. Showy from all angles.
