General Notes
The occurrence of schulenbergite at Tsumeb was reported by Joy Desor in April 2020, associated with ktenasite and niedermayrite, with the schulenbergite identification supported by EDS and Raman spectra (https://www.mindat.org/locentry-1365434.html; accessed October 2024).
A second paragenesis has also been observed in which schulenbergite is associated with brochantite, cerussite, fraipontite and linarite (Christopher Emproto, pers. comm. to R. Alonso-Perez, 2024).
