Normally if I saw it on RRUFF, I'd say it was a no brainer, but... something tells me to run it by the membership first.
thanks!

It's a very well-known occurrence, mentioned in all major Tsumeb references. I don't think there could ever be a doubt on it! I have at least 3-4 specimens containing Renierite from Tsumeb...!

I was sure it was there as I regularly get it confused with Reinerite from Tsumeb... not visually, I mean, but the name...!
:)
EDIT# spotted the issue now- it's listed under Tsumeb, but not Tsumeb Mine...

Reinerite is already on the database as being found at the Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb (type locality, too) - but Renierite is not - Renierite is attributed to Tsumeb, one level higher than the Tsumeb Mine.
I suppose that's why I posed the question - with the very similar names of both minerals and the localities, I didn't want to add it to the database without some expert judgement.

this is a good reference, but could somebody take off the photo of a fluorite specimen which is from a Namibian fluorite mine and certainly not from Tsumeb.

It's Walter here
You generously helped me ID Ojuelaite from Tsumeb in 2001
May I send you some photos of rare tsumeb minerals taken on my microscope
Mostly from small vugs in Germanite ore
Vugs less than 1mm in size with some exotic rare tsumeb minerals in them

I have a specimen of cuproadamite with a sky blue mineral crust, which I thought was rosasite, but I don't find any examples of the association in the mindat photo database, and there are no other carbonates present. Zebra?
Thanks,

Karibibite was confirmed by SEM-EDS and PXRD. It occurs as pale yellow intertwined fibres on a sample containing leiteite and schneiderhöhnite. The karibibite may be confused with ludlockite.
