This is an unusual, double sided specimen. The top view is that of intergrown rhombs of sparkling, translucent, tannish-gray calcite, to 1.2 cm across. The back side is covered in rhombs of greenish -gray dolomite, to 1.7 cm across. HIGH luster makes this better than most Tsumeb calcites in terms of display quality. Ex. Charlie Key.
