Tsumeb is known as the world's greatest mineral locality for it's variety of minerals, rare minerals, and the sheer beauty
of it's minerals. Another great thing about Tsuemb is the interesting combinations of minerals, such as this specimen featuring
blueish green Smithsonite ocvering reticulated Cerussite. Teh Smithsonite has a pleasing hue and covers the Cerussite
except in a few areas where the glassy crystal faces can be seen. Stunning and rare specimen from this long closed mine.
