Item Description
A sculptural, showy, multi-sided Tsumeb specimen of dolomite casted after flattened calcite rhombs. The nifty little tufts of primary malachite needles really enhance the aesthetics of this piece. Portions of the dolomite look different, having a very sparkly, sugary, light green tint, which is, in fact, cuprian dolomite. This is really uncommon and excellent combination material for Tsumeb and is from the Wes Parker Collection.
