What makes these huge calcite crystals from Tsumeb so wonderful is the super-complex stepping on the faces; they result is that they look like pyramids of tiny stacked blocks. They are actually flattened rhombohedrons if you look closely. The reddish color is from inclusions of hematite. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
