Comprising entirely crystallized Calcite, this small cabinet-sized Calcite from Tsumeb mine presents a lovely pale cream coloured glassy habit of stacked rhombic crystals. These form a fine almost Christmas-tree like display up one side of the specimen, with the reverse showing a more coarsely crystallized and less well-defined core. The crystals on the front display side are in very fine condition and make for a quite large display of Calcite crystals from this most famous of localities which is better known for its rare species. Ex Weyand Collection.
