This flat originates from the Blue Bell Mine in California, USA, a locality renowned for its diverse secondary copper minerals. Tsumebite is a rare copper-zinc phosphate that forms in the oxidized zones of the mine’s veins.
The very fine, small crystals are abundantly distributed on matrix and showcase characteristic prismatic habits. Collectors value this selection for its documented provenance, striking mineral associations, and premium presentation.
This flat integrates seamlessly into systematic collections and is ideal for high-end display cases highlighting metallic mineral parageneses.
