A fine miniature of Calcite and Malachite from Tsumeb mine in Namibia, composed from several intergrown rhombohedral Calcite crystals sitting on a matrix of largely millimetre-sized Calcite crystals, pervaded with an overgrowth of Malachite. The specimen is dominated by one large single colourless Calcite crystal of good transparency, with shallow bevelled edges and a slight misty frosting over all its faces. Despite the frosting, the degree of transparency is more than sufficient to allow the detailed textures of the underlying Malachite to be seen through the prisms. Examined close to, the emerald green Malachite forms fuzzy, velvety mounds and botryoidal undulations. A most attractive Calcite with Malachite from Tsumeb.
