A choice miniature comprised of a stunning, single Calcite rhombohedron sitting atop a matrix composed of smaller, Duftite-included Calcites. This single large Calcite is an impressive 2.9 cm on edge, it is partially gemmy, and has suberb luster. The Calcite is virtually pristine, with only very minor edgewear in just a few spots. The location and aesthetics of this rhomb on the matrix could not be better. Really, a superb miniature, as the pics show. And, this style is a classic from Tsumeb. But, rarely do you get a single stereotypical crystal like this that is not in a jumbly cluster.
