Here’s an interesting piece – sharp grouping of bladed Calcite crystals perched atop a thin lime green Duftite matrix! Quite aesthetic, as well as from the eternally popular and long defunct Tsumeb Mine! 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!
