A superb elongated, ship- and wedge-shaped cabinet specimen from the Tsumeb Mine. Pastel-green duftite coats a showy multitude of sharp, glassy, colorless calcite rhombs. The large rhomb is 2.0 cm and some of the crystals are interpenetrating. Ex. Karl Warning Collection and purchased at the Tucson Show in 1989 from Don Olson. Classic Tsumeb material.
