@EdgeFolks Due to the high sulphur content, it would be advisable to keep such a specimen in a sealed container as it will attack pyrite and metallic elements of other specimens. Sulphur and salt are covid for minerals.
@gabriela_farfan@NMNH the DRC has quite a long list of copper silicates and a rainbow of chrysocolla shattuckite cuprite and all the other associated minerals, and quite a bit more affordable than the Tsumeb specimens, which are mostly in private collections now.
Happy Tuesday ~ For today's 'T is for...' Tuesday topic we selected a place, rather than a type of gem, rock, or mineral. We are highlighting the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia with photos of specimens from the mine. All photos courtesy of @TheArkenstone.
