Overview A highly aesthetic miniature specimen from the famous Onganja Mine. This piece features a beautifully formed, glassy calcite crystal perched perfectly atop a rugged, contrasting dark matrix, making it a wonderful display piece for any locality collector.
Description The focal point of this specimen is a prominent calcite crystal that exhibits excellent glassy luster and appealing translucency. Within the glassy crystal, you can observe faint reddish-brown hueslikely inclusions or staining that reflect the copper and iron-rich environment of the Onganja deposit.
The primary crystal sits elegantly on an earthy, dark reddish-brown to almost black matrix. The highly textured, porous nature of this host rock provides an excellent natural pedestal, offering a stark contrast in both color and texture that makes the bright, glassy calcite stand out brilliantly.
