Germanite

Tsumeb, Namibia

6.9cm x 4.1cm x 3cm

Ex. Thomas J. Campbell Collection #S-46


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare example of germanite from the type locality, Tsumeb!!! This specimen exhibits a significant showing of massive germanite in association with quartz, massive cerussite, cuprite, chalcocite, minor sphalerite, and possibly other unidentified species!!! The broad face of this specimen hosts a significant showing of metallic, pinkish maroon hued germanite!!! One can see significant, rich areas of germanite all around the specimen!!! In addition to the germanite there are areas of massive cuprite and chalcocite as well as some tiny areas of sphalerite as well!!! Upon close inspection, there are some tiny, submillimeter crystals of an unidentified mineral tucked in small vugs!!! One small crystal appears to exhibit tetrahedral form, while others are somewhat complex!!! There are some other very interesting features to be seen upon close inspection with a loupe or scope (perhaps worthy of analysis?)!!! This specimen came from the collection of Thomas J. Campbell, Co-author of the "Encyclopedia of Minerals"!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
