A superb, complete all-around and pristine cluster of blocky, lustrous, porcelaneous, lead-rich calcite rhombs from the Tsumeb Mine. The large, dominating rhomb is 3.4 cm, in the long dimension. This specimen is further highlighted by a very aesthetic scattering, at the base, of brown, botryoidal coronadite or some other oxide. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
