Item Description
Well-crystallized quartz is relatively uncommon from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. This scuptural, very vuggy CABINET specimen of pearlescent, light gray dolomite rhombs holds a few glassy, quartz crystals to 1.7 cm tucked into one side of the piece. Highly representative and showy material of this uncommon for the locae species. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Tsumeb specialist.
