Schneiderhöhnite Locality: Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto (Oshikoto) Region, Namibia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 2.3 x 1.1 x 1.0 cm. A MAJOR Tsumeb rarity, Schneiderhöhnite is usually seen for sale as little 2-5mm crystals on ugly ore matrix. However, there was one pocket (in the 1970s?), which produced these huge crystals and set the standard for the species for all time to come, and this is the largest single crystal of that find that I have seen for sale. It is, simply, a world class thumbnail and both for species and aesthetics. TYPE LOCALITY and the only locality for superb larger crystals of this species. A bit of matrix is attached with other microcrystallized mineralization, possibly other species. Lastly, I should point out that this crystal is complete ALL around, 360 degrees. Mineral

Schoepite, Rutherfordine Locality: Musonoi Mine, Kolwezi, Western area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 4.5 x 2.4 x 2.7 cm. A very good example of this classic mineral from the Musonoi Mine. Most specimens are TN’s but this is a larger size. Note the nicely formed crystals where the inner core of Rutherfordine can still be seen. This specimen was recovered during the removal of the U-dump in the early 1990’s. Musonoi has ceased producing minerals since then. Nothing has come out of Katanga for more than 15 years, except for Malachite and Chrysocolla. Mineral

Scholzite Locality: Reaphook Hill, Martins Well, South Flinders Ranges, Flinders Ranges, South Australia, Australia (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 9.7 x 6.6 x 3.2 cm. Scholzite is a very rare hydrated calcium zinc phosphate and the well-known Reaphook Hill locality in Australia has probably produced the world’s finest specimens of this rare species. The sturdy gossan matrix is totally covered with lustrous, acicular crystals in a striking jackstraw pattern. This outstanding piece is probably from the 1960s finds. Mineral

Nepheline, Schorlomite Locality: Bou-Agrao Mt., Tamazeght complex, High Atlas Mts, Khénifra Province, Meknès-Tafilalet Region, Morocco (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 6.0 x 4.4 x 3.8 cm. An excellent and uncommon combination specimen from the High Atlas Mountains of Morroco - Bou-Agrao Mt. A large vug is lined with sharp, hexagonal, grayish-white nepheline crystals to 1.8 cm and nicely complimentary, lustrous, jet-black crystals of schorlomite. The textabook, dodechedral crystals reach 1.5 cm. Schorlomite is a rare garnet group member and much of the material labeled "schorlomite" is, strictly speaking, titanian andradite. Excellent, highly representative combination material of the species and locale. Mineral
