A sharp and classic Tsumeb styled cabinet specimen comprised of six sharp, gemmy Calcite crystals sitting perfectly on matrix. The Calcites, the largest of which is 3.2 cm on edge, are highly lustrous, mostly gemmy, and fluorescent. Their spacing and distribution on the matrix could not be better as they literally march across the top of the specimen. There is some very minor contacting on a small crystal and on the right side edge, but it really does not affect the overall aesthetics, which as you can see from the pics are superb. This style is classic for Tsumeb
