Leiteite : Zn[As2O4]

Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia

An elongate specimen of fibrous leiteite, unusual in that both ends seem to be terminated (insofar as this style of mineral terminates, that is). It is an unusually large and showy specimen, without breaking the bank to add to a good Tsumeb suite! These were found towards the end, on the "germanium levels" deep in the mine. 7.7 x 1 x .4 cm
