Hi all Tsumeb mineral collectors,

-Are you a passionate of Tsumeb minerals ?
-Do you enjoy watching microcrystals under the microscope? Especially colorful landscapes of different species under the same field of view?
-Do you want to get extreme Tsumeb rarities that you don't find in other webs or Mineral Shows?
-Do you want to get some Tsumeb species that your friends have told about them but you haven't heard before ?
-Do you enjoy strange chemistries like germanium minerals?

If you answered yes most of the above questions, this is your auction !

http://www.e-rocks.com/Products.aspx?action=list&type=48913

This time extreme rarities like Reinerite (!!!) Calcioandyrobertsite+Stranskiite (!!!), Helmutwinklerite (!!!), Renierite (in crystals !!) Ovamboite(!!), Kegelite, Alamosite.
