#88Mashamba West Mine » DR Congo (Zaire)
Available
17cm x 9cm x 6.5cm
An interesting Calcite specimen from Mashamba West featuring two forms of Calcite. Two translucent complex Calcite crystals with silky looking internals and exhibiting twinning, are centrally placed, the largest measuring to 4.6cm. Surrounding this are several rounded spiky 'balls' of acicular honey colour Calcite, the largest to 2.5cm diameter. The Calcites are perched on pale green Chrysocolla coating the Calcite matrix, which accentuates the colours nicely!
