Description

A well balanced specimen of twinning and transparent colourless prismatic Calcite crystals (to 2.2cm) on a bed of botryoidal Mottramite. A pleasant contrast between the two minerals, and lustrous Calcites with impressive transparency (much Tsumeb Calcite is milky to translucent) - one of the best examples of this combination, in this size range, I have seen for quite some time.
