Calcite with Duftite (Rob Smith Coll.)

Item Description

A showy, mounded calcite specimen from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. This classic-style, two-sided piece features lustrous, translucent, colorless calcite rhombs, that are niftily and preferentially coated with pastel-green duftite. Nearly pristine, the one edge bruise is barely noticeable. Two of the faces on the upper rhomb may be cleaved, it is hard to tell for sure, but this remains an excellent example of this style of Tsumeb calcite. Ex Rob Smith Collection.
