Calcite on Dolomite Cast (Ref: 7112)
Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine) | Tsumeb | Otjikoto Region | Namibia
86mm x 59mm x 39mm
$1283 *
This is a fascinating cast (thin and hollow) of Dolomite with a very light tan tinge, wrapped around numerous Calcite crystals. The Calcite was dissolved by caustic solutions in the pocket, leaving only this ´shell´ behind. Numerous multifaceted and slightly amber-colored calcite rhombs up to 1.3 cm in size are perched atop this excellent cast specimen. These rhombs have an excellent luster, they are extremely sharp-edged, and have superb form. Highly aesthetic material from the famous Tsumeb mine, which was abandoned in 1996 for economic reasons. By the way, this piece is much better in person.Data last checked on 22nd Aug 2025 - specimen may no longer be available
