Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of calcite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts a pair of superb calcite crystals on matrix!!!
The crystals are razor sharp, complete, glassy, and gem clear!!! With magnification, one can see unidentified
tiny green microcrystals scattered about the matrix as well!!! A unique and aesthetic Tsumeb calcite indeed!!!
Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a prolific collector
and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back and forth to his native
Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was
rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping with most of the specimens in the
collection having catalogue numbers, label with info on locale, source/dealer info,
acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However, the most interesting feature
is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the specimen on the reverse side as
well!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
