A highly lustrous mound of closely interpenetrating snow-white Calcite crystals averaging between 2 to 2.5 cm on edge overgrowing a hidden core of pinkish Calcite/Dolomite. A classic Calcite from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia, the faces of which are themselves covered in micro-rhombohedral crystals, all with a very high lustre. Scattered over the specimen are five pinhead patches of micro-crystalline Dioptase which appears a more bluish green than usual because of the tiny size and internal reflection of the underlying white Calcite. A Calcite beautiful for its form, pure white colour and terrific lustre from Tsumeb.
