An excellent cabinet cluster of large, waxy, translucent and colorless calcite rhombs from the Tsumeb Mine. The superb, large central rhomb is 9.7 cm on the diagonal and has a really interesting hoppered or cavernous area in the center of the crystal. Accompanied by a Zweibel Mineral Kingdom of Woodmere label, dating the piece to prior to mid-1980. Ex Rob Smith Collection.
