Since my last login I have been enjoying looking through more of your Tsumeb Mine, Namibia, specimens. The specimens I have especially enjoyed are the azurites (HH 640B.JPG, pg. 1 and HH 504.JPG, pg. 1) and the smithsonites (HH 137.JPG, pg. 2 and HH 330.JPG, pg. 2).
It seems we also have the same opinion on that calcite and dioptase on dolomite specimen (HH 831A.JPG) it so far has been my favorite specimen to look at in your collection! That is a really great example.

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.
