Item Description
Dark green duftite covers calcite rhombs in this LARGE CABINET specimen. The calcite rhombs have the sharp morphology you sometimes see at Tsumeb. The duftite on this piece occurs in a wide range of styles - phantoms, coatings, selective coatings, multiple phantoms, phantoms with coatings. This specimen displays in 360-degrees and is impressive for both size and geometry, without even looking at the intricacy up close.
