Like a gathering of ghosts, three knobbly, wide, pale cream-coloured Calcite stalagmites (rather than stalactites which tend to be thinner) rise up from a small bed of Calcite. It is certainly one of the more unusual forms of Calcite that we have seen from Tsumeb mine and will make a nice talking point in any display, whether that is Tsumeb-focused, or worldwide. It comes from the generations-old Weyand Collection held in the town of Tsumeb.
