Like snow on a leaf, the pearlescent white Dolomite crystals are draped across the side of this botryoidal aggregate of deep green Duftite from Tsumeb mine in Namibia. This is a very pretty miniature specimen, with the Duftite showing a wonderful silky to resinous lustre and lovely bubbly texture, contrasting with the bright white pearlescent, small, but sharply angular crystals of Dolomite. Ex Weyand Collection.
