Welcome to theTsumeb.Com website - a sister website of Trinity Mineral Company. This website is dedicated to minerals and information regarding the world's premier mineral locality.  November 27, 2009 update news: I have gathered up some new specimens - well not new per se -  but new specimens for the website from Tsumeb. One of the more interesting items here is a specimen of molybdofornacite.  While trimming a dioptase specimen I noted some partial (yellow) wulfenite crystals in the trim box.  This is a guide to looking for molybdofornacite as they are only known on dioptase specimens with yellow wulfenite.  I have seen only a couple of these in the past and they are coveted by every Tsumeb collector as only a small handful (a dozen or so) are known to exist and those that are known have, up to now, been a few crystals here and there. My mouth dropped when I saw these under the scope.  Scores of crystals of this beautiful yellow green, lath shaped crystal.  A couple have nice associations with both wulfenite and dioptase too. There are other fine specimens too but the molybdofornacite is the real news here.     click button to see new Tsumeb specimens Molybdofornacite Cerussite Cadmium Smithsonite Dioptase         If you would like to be added to the mailing list for Tsumeb.com please enter your email address below.  Subscribe | Unsubscribe  Thanks for visiting!
