Calcite with hematite inclusions ex. Halpern Coll.

Item Description

From Tsumeb, arguably the greatest specimen locality in the world, comes this calcite specimen, composed of lustrous rhombs to 1.5 cm across. They are aesthetically infused with pink-red inclusions of finely disseminated hematite. This is unusual for the locality! I find it much more pleasing than the normal hematite- included calcite from Tsumeb, which is brick red. Jack has his collection number 1009 on this, and bought it in the early 1980s fro mwell-known Tsumeb dealer Prosper Williams, whose label is included.
