This is probably best described as a micromount specimen, although micromounters might disagree. Tsumebite, as the name suggests, was first described from the Tsumeb mine in the Oshikoto Region, Namibia. This 8 x 6 x 3 mm specimen is almost entirely Tsumebite, with the upper surface coated in minute, but sharply formed, glassy, mint-green, monoclinic crystals. The remainder of the specimen is veined with Tsumebite. Classic Tsumebite from the Type Locality.
