Gem-like, water-clear calcite rhombs with fabulous, striated/stepped-growth faces are aesthetically strewn across the sculptural, cabinet-sized, gossan matrix on this fine specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. The large, perched rhomb is 1.7 cm and many of the rhombs are included with green mottramite, which really adds character. Classic material from this renowned locale. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
