Calcite with Dolomite
specimen number:
8691054
location:
Tsumeb mine, Otjikoto, Namibia
description:
An attractive combination piece with gemmy colorless crystals of calcite to 1.0 cm in size on a matrix covered with glistening beautiful pink crystallized dolomite. One calcite crystal along the right edge of the matrix as you look at the piece is cleaved. All of the other crystals are in perfect condition and I think that this is a good specimen.
Size: 4.5 x 3.0 x 1.5 cm (miniature)
