This miniature specimen from Tsumeb mine is a lovely combination piece with at least three shades of green combining nicely. It comprises a somewhat stalactitic, to colloform aggregate, of dark green Bayldonite/Duftite with vibrant green botryoidal surfaces. Upon this, in cavities, are glossy very dark olive-green elongated Olivenite crystals, to 3.5 mm in length, and rounded radiating aggregates of green Malachite. A little white paint or Tipp-Ex covers a small area on the back of the specimen. A very nice, and lesser seen combination of species from Tsumeb.
