Item Description
Water-clear, colorless, calcite rhombs, to 1.2 cm on edge, are very aesthetically scattered on the matrix plate of tiny, sparkly, olive-green, mottramite crystals/botryoids. Really adding pizzazz, all of the rhombs are included with mottramite. Very nearly pristine, the lower-right rhomb has just a touch of edge wear. Tsumeb, like Dal'negorsk, is renowned for calcite diversity and quality and this is a very fine and uncommon in this quality combination example. BRIGHT orange SW fluorescence! Ex Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection.
