Highly lustrous spherical aggregates of pure snow-white Dolomite micro-crystals form organic-looking mounds piled over a core of ochre and orange-tan granular Dolomite. The habit of the crystallised Dolomite is so fine, the surface appears almost as velvety snowballs, appropriate for this Christmas update. A terrific miniature of brilliant white Dolomite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia.
