Very nice blue globular aggregate of connellite, a fairly common mineral worlwide but extremely rare at Tsumeb.

The species was labeled in Gebhard Tsumeb II as RRR! (single specimen known).

Connellite from Tsumeb is almost never seen in the mineral market, so don't miss the opportunity to get such a rarity from there!.

Find of 1986.
