Item Description
Very glassy, nearly transparent, colorless to reddish oxide-tinted (internal) calcite rhombs to 1.8 cm have classic and nifty preferential overgrowths (mostly on corners) of green duftite with sparkly micro calcite rhombs. One side of the fine mounded piece has a dense covering of the micro calcites. This is a fine example of this classic and desirable Tsumeb combination from the Bob Trimingham Collection and purchased from Walt Lidstrom in 1969, when such material was coming out. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
