A PRISTINE and aesthetic Tsumeb specimen of a 3.3 cm, glassy, transparent to translucent, colorless calcite rhomb artistically set on mottramite-covered matrix. The calcite rhomb is a beautiful, complete, 360 degree crystal with a few stepped faces. Undamaged Tsumeb calcites of this quality are difficult to obtain and the color contrast between the calcite and mottramite is striking. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
