Description/Interesting Notes: An outstanding example of this very rare species from Tsumeb - the type and only locality!!! This specimen hosts a robust mass of stark-white schaurteite set in a characteristic matrix (germanite-tennantite ore with other associated species)!!! The schaurtei...te is present as very densely intergrown fibrous crystals with surprising luster!!! There are some tiny bits of yellowish-tan calcite intergrown with the schaurteite as well!!! This schaurtite is robust, significantly sized and stand out in sharp contrast against the darkly colored matrix!!! This is a fantastic example of this very rare Tsumeb species!!! Fine examples of schauerteite such as this are seldom available - don't miss out on this rare opportunity!!! This specimen retains old labels from the collection of Georg Gebhard and Shields & Frances Flynn a well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
