Item Description
A cute and unusual Tsumeb calcite miniature from the Jaime Bird Collection. A very showy radial spray of spikey calcite stalactites, formed by stacking of individual calcite rhombs, is richly sprinkled with accenting, green duftite. To top is off, a nifty floret of lustrous, brown calcite microcrystals is very jauntily perched on the stalactites. Tsumeb produced an amazing array of fine calcite specimens and this is certainly one of them.
