Gemmy and lustrous, pretty seafoam-green, willemite crystal aggregates fill a sculptural vug on this rare and showy combination specimen from Tsumeb. The rim of the vug and back of matrix are totally covered with tiny calcite rhombs and the two calcite-covered mounds on the lower right are peppered with blue-green plancheite botryoids. The calcites fluoresce BRIGHT orange-red! Choice and excellent combination material from the Richard Kosnar Collection.
