Sharp, stout prismatic Brochantite crystals from Tsumeb. Brochantite was rare from Tsumeb and rarer still in stout, well terminated crystals (most formed acicular crystals). The crystals reach 4mm in size, some doubly-terminated, and have grown on a silicous matrix coated by drusy Quartz. There are also spherical massess of an unidentified light green mineral present. Ex. Carl Acosta collection.
