Gifts for any occasion: https://kamnevedy.ru/?utm_source=yout... Lecture by Dmitry Romanov dedicated to a unique mineralogical object, the Tsumeb deposit in Namibia. With this lecture we begin a series dedicated to unique mineralogical objects of the world and Russia. The Tsumeb copper deposit was discovered in the early 19th century by white Dutch colonists and immediately began to be developed for copper ore. In terms of the scale of the mid-19th century, this deposit turned out to be the richest in concentration and reserves in the world. The secret was that it was the richest zone of copper ore oxidation, which was formed over more than 100 million years. The Tsumeb deposit gave the world's museums and collectors the most unique in size and quality collectible samples of azurite and malachite and two dozen secondary copper minerals, which have become classics of mineralogy.
