A beautiful and striking Tsumeb combination piece of lustrous intergrown white dolomite rhombs on a crust of sparkly botryoidal duftite. A bit of peripheral damage to some of the dolomite rhombs certainly does not detract from this choice piece. Not significant for either species I admit, but a darned showy piece anyhow 8.0 x 6.0 x 3.3 cm
