Austinite

specimen number:
1505572

location:
Tsumeb mine, Otjiko Region, Namibia

description:

Beautiful sparkling green crystals of austinite to 0.2 cm in size quite thick over the front side of this 7.0 x 7.0 x 5.5 cm matrix. These crystals are coating previous prismatic crystals of quartz to 0.5 cm in length. A few of these crystals are broken on the termination showing the interior quartz. Overall I think in very good condition, an excellent fist sized well crystallized example for the species from this mine. Shipping weight: 0.84 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
