FLUORAPOPHYLLITE on Stilbite and Heulandite -

color Apophyllite crystal on Stilbite with Heulandite. The
green color in these Apophyllite is caused by the

CERUSSITE
on Malachite -
$425
Unfortunately, it was very difficult for me to get the
Cerussite crystals to show up on the Malachite
pseudomorphs after Azurite, but hopefully they look
alright on your screen. The significance of this
specimen is the fact that is was collected around the
turn of the century and came from the Archduke of
Saxony's collection.
Locality: Tsumeb, Namibia
Specimen Size: 6 x 4.5 x 3.2 cm.
Mined: 1905 - ex Archduke of Saxony Collection
