Calcite with Mottramite

Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia

6.0 cm x 5.7 cm x 2.0 cm

ex. Daniel Hall coll.

 

Out of an old collection, comes this amazing miniature size specimen from the famous Tsumeb mine.

This is a heart shaped cluster of calcite rhombohedral crystals,
with high luster faces, some show twinning and most are inter-grown.

The specimen appears to be a floater, showing no contact point at all.

One one side of the specimen, the calcite crystals are covered in olive green micro crystals of Mottramite.

One the other side, there is some Mottramite around the edges,
but also looks to be included in some of the crystals.

There may also be some minor duftite present as well. 

This is a very pristine specimen.
