A sculptural, vuggy Tsumeb specimen covered with gemmy and lustrous, blue-green willemite crystals on a gossan matrix. Tiny, uncommon quartz crystal sprays are hidden in a couple of vugs amongst the willemite. A bonus on the back is the 100% coverage of sparkly, sintered, off-white, dolomite microcrystals. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
