On our recent visit to Germany, I had the privilege of visiting the amazing mineral collection displayed in Schloss Freudenstein, Freiberg, Germany. I would like to share some of the pictures taken of the Tsumeb minerals on display.

Hello Pierre, it's good to be back home, although Germany was a great experience, since it was my first visit.

Only joking Heimo. To me this is one of (if not the) most beautiful azurites I have seen.

Looking at 7510, can smithsonite have such a prismatic habit?

I was thinking the same thing. Never saw a smithsonite that looked anything like that

Regarding the habit of smithsonite noted above. This is a classic Tsumeb habit. I have a friend with a specimen holding crystals over 10cm long. Stunning piece. In my large Tsumeb smithsonite collection I had a number of smaller examples of this habit. The piece in question is a great rock. The color is striking and unusual.
