Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredibly unique example of duftite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a rare REVERSE cast of duftite crystals!!! The duftite
crystals had once coated a complex cluster of calcite crystals - that specimen was
subsequently coated by an unknown white mineral (presumably microcrystalline dolomite) and the original calcite cluster went back into solution!!!
This specimen is really quite aesthetic in person!!! The duftite crystals have wonderful color and
are quite well crystallized - the broad faces of the cast show
marked luster and in the areas where one can see the sides of individual duftite crystals they are rather significant!!! This is
a remarkable Tsumeb specimen in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
