Description

When talking about aragonite from Tsumeb tarnowitzite (plumboan aragonite) comes to mind first of all. This specimen is more unusual - it exhibits naturally corroded sprays of acicular whiteish aragonite with a very slight greenish tint on a matrix of diverse not formally identified minerals. With hand written label from the Dr. Krantz stock. Rarely seen.
