MZ27T7: Group of rhombohedral crystals with a curious nuance on their transparency and luster, very much clearer on the areas near the edges.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 7.6 × 6 × 1.8 cm = 3.0” × 2.4” × 0.7”

Main crystal size: 1.8 × 1.6 cm = 0.7” × 0.6”

MF37T7: Group of prismatic Calcite crystals with rhombohedral terminations, phantom growths and green Mottramite inclusions which mainly occupy the terminal faces.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 4.5 × 4.1 × 2.5 cm = 1.8” × 1.6” × 1.0”

Main crystal size: 2 × 1.8 cm = 0.8” × 0.7”

MF68T7: Druse of polycrystalline rhombohedral crystals having a lenticular shape. They are very bright and have red phantom growths of Hematite inclusions.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 12.5 × 7 × 3.6 cm = 4.9” × 2.8” × 1.4”

MA47T7: Small, very individualized crystals of Dioptase with extraordinary luster, transparency and color. They are on matrix with completely clear rhombohedral Calcite crystals that have a very intense luster.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 6.2 × 4.7 × 2.7 cm = 2.4” × 1.9” × 1.1”

MR37T7: Group of rhombohedral Smithsonite crystals with curved faces and edges and a lenticular shape. They are pale pink color and have very well defined brown inclusions of iron oxides on their edges.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 3.8 × 2.7 × 2.2 cm = 1.5” × 1.1” × 0.9”

Main crystal size: 1.4 × 0.7 cm = 0.6” × 0.3”

MY27T7: Druze of rhombohedral crystals with curved faces and edges and a lenticular shape. They are bright and have a very intense pink color and they are more aerial than usual for samples from Tsumeb.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 5.8 × 4.8 × 2.2 cm = 2.3” × 1.9” × 0.9”

Main crystal size: 0.7 × 0.7 cm = 0.3” × 0.3”

MP50T7: Unusual spheroidal growths, on a limonite matrix, with a very intense yellow color. They look like the Mimetite from San Pedro Corralitos, México. The sample, according to Desmond Sacco is from one of the first finds of this secondary species in the oxidation zone at Tsumeb, during the first days of its exploitation.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia

Specimen size: 8.6 × 6.9 × 3.4 cm = 3.4” × 2.7” × 1.3”

Main crystal size: 0.4 × 0.3 cm = 0.2” × 0.1”

MQ46T7: Group of Azurite crystals with very well defined faces and edges, good terminations, deep color, very bright and with intense transparency on the edges. With small twinned crystals of Cerussite and some other unidentified species. A good example of why the Azurite from Tsumeb is world famous.
With a handwritten Sacco collection label, that we’ll send to the buyer.
Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb  Namibia (1970-1985)

Specimen size: 11.2 × 10.2 × 7.4 cm = 4.4” × 4.0” × 2.9”

Main crystal size: 5 × 2.5 cm = 2.0” × 1.0”
