A very AESTHETIC Tsumeb specimen of two, interlocking calcite rhombs beautifully perched on mottramite-encrusted, 3-dimensional, vuggy matrix. The pristine, lustrous, and translucent calcite rhombs, to 2.8 cm across, are wonderfully accented by the tiny, water-clear calcite rhomb. CLASSIC Tsumeb material from the Rob Smith Collection.
