Item Description
This is a very classic Tsumeb combination piece consisting of an open cluster of sharp, gemmy Calcite discs with Mottramite highlights at the base. The largest Calcite measures 1.8 cm across and the luster of the Calcite crystals is excellent. What adds to the attractiveness of this piece are the small, olive green, Mottramite stalactites with divergent growth near the base that provide great contrast with the whitish gray Calcite crystals. Minor damage as shown in the mottramite. This is a very three-dimensional piece and displays well.
