  We report on highly tunable radio frequency (rf) characteristics of a
low-loss and compact three dimensional (3D) metamaterial made of
superconducting thin film spiral resonators. The rf transmission spectrum of a
single element of the metamaterial shows a fundamental resonance peak at
$\sim$24.95 MHz that shifts to a 25$\%$ smaller frequency and becomes
degenerate when a 3D array of such elements is created. The metamaterial shows
an $\emph{in-situ}$ tunable narrow frequency band in which the real part of the
effective permeability is negative over a wide range of temperature, which
reverts to gradually near-zero and positive values as the superconducting
critical temperature is approached. This metamaterial can be used for
increasing power transfer efficiency and tunability of electrically small
rf-antennas.
