Hopeite, Tarbutitte xls; Zambia; 1 flat; unique
Hopeite and Tarbuttite crystals from Zambia – 1 unique flat
This collection features striking crystal specimens of Hopeite and Tarbuttite from Zambia. The pieces display vivid orange-red to yellowish coatings on contrasting matrix, with dense crystalline growths and fine textures. Surfaces range from sparkling crystalline to porous, highlighting a rich variety of structures and colors. This flat is a unique showcase of the rare association of these zinc phosphates.
These pieces come from the famous Kabwe Mine (formerly Broken Hill) in Zambia, a classic locality known worldwide for its secondary zinc phosphates. Hopeite is a crystalline zinc phosphate, while tanbellite is a rare secondary phosphate mineral from the oxidation zone. Specimens of this size and quality are increasingly hard to find. The flat shown is exactly the collection on offer.
