General Notes

A specimen labelled as "veszelyit" in the Karabacek Collection (#2640) now at Harvard University (MGMH 93856) was highlighted by Karabacek while negotiating the sale of part of his collection to Harvard in 1935 as the only example of this mineral known from Tsumeb. Unfortunately, subsequent analysis showed it to be zincolivenite.
