Outstanding and rare thumbnail of zincolivenite (formerly thought to be cuprian adamite) from Tsumeb, held as producer of the best known samples of this species. Specimens with this combination of intense color, phenomenal form, and glassy luster only came out of Tsumeb's second oxidation zone in the 80's, and this one represents the best of the best of all those attributes. Make no mistake about it, this is absolutely a competition level TN, with brilliant emerald color, attention-grabbing visuals, and size just small enough to fit into a perky.
