Welcome to TSUMEBFINEMINERALS.COM:
a site dedicated to the collectible
mineral treasures of Tsumeb, Namibia!
This site will be dedicated to showcasing the incredible wealth of collectible mineral specimens that came from the Tsumeb mine over almost 100 years of mining. Most of us, even dealers, never get to see so much of the fabulous array of minerals that have come from this extraordinary location all in one place. As I obtain collections, Tsumeb specimens will be constantly added to this site. It is going to be a constant work in progress, with the ultimate goal of becoming a repository not only of specimens for sale but even more importantly as a reference guide for what is available on the contemporary market from this important location, and how that representation changes with time. |
