A shocking calcite specimen where the crystals are so heavily included by hematite that they look almost like a different species entirely. High luster and pristine condition make this a unique and unusually fine specimen, especially as calcites of this size and condition are even more uncommon from Tsumeb than from other localities. It was purchased from Charlie Key in 2000. 14 x 10 x 4 cm This Photo was Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 24th Apr 2006
