This fine Tsumeb calcite specimen features two large, sharp, transparent calcite rhombohedrons, on two intergrown shards of matrix that serve as a perfect base for the calcites, and add an attractive touch in that they actually show through the calcites to add color (the reddish color is from hematite). The calcites measure to 5 cm tip-to-tip.
