A magnified image of a specimen of transparent red terminated crystals of vibrant red Carminite, with green Gartrellite, and minor Anglesite and Beudantite from the John C. White collection. The field of view is 4 mm. The specimen had Carminite with “Mineral TK” on the original dealer label. Mineral TK was an undescribed mineral species known for years from Tsumeb, before it was ultimately described and named Gartrellite from a locality in Australia. The specimen was obtained by Mr. White in 1978 from the Mineral Mailbox, and had originally been part of a lot of rare Tsumeb material from Walter Kahn, the noted Tsumeb dealer and collector. Robert Meyer specimen and photograph.
