SUPERB cast of Cobaltoan Dolomite after Calcite. Not only are the forms razor-sharp and the color beautiful, but if you flip it over there is an amazing second generation of ribbon-like Dolomite. The pics really show all you need to know. This is a great piece from Tsumeb. UNIQUE to this locality, they have an ethereal look to them.
