| Thank you Jamison, although Calcites normally do not get the limelight, I am a great fan.

I would like to today post a curiosity from Tsumeb.
I had this specimen on the "What is this" site on 04 August 2014 and Simone guessed it to be Gaudefroyite.
I found a picture on page 303 in the TSUMEB book by Georg Gebhard and I am certain that it is, what he describes as "The Nails" native Copper crystals.

You have some nice and interesting specimens Heimo, thanks for sharing them with us.
The calcite from Tsumeb at the top of this page is brilliantly bizzarre! The purple fluorite twin with the unequal sized crystals from Brandberg is very good and unusual, I've never seen one quite like it!
Cheers, Mike
