Calcite cluster from Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Otjikoto Refion, Namibia

9-MM-14

4.4 x 3.5 x 3.2 cm

Bladed Calcite crystals in a pleasing arrangement play host to several dark balls of what appears to be Mottramite! The contrast in color and form makes this piece special. From a different perspective, it looks a lot like mold growing on it! Gotta love odd combos like this. One of the richest ore bodies in the world, the Tsumeb Mine produced millions of tons of metallic ores as well as numerous varieties of minerals, in all sorts of combinations! Common minerals like Calcite, from Tsumeb are some of the main species collectors go for from this locale. This is a keeper for sure!
