Like a desert island with three leaf-less trees, this set of stalagmites (they appear to have grown upwards rather than down) from Tsumeb mine could also be viewed as a gathering of ghosts. It is certainly one of the more unusual forms of Calcite that we have seen from Tsumeb mine and will make a nice talking point in any display, whether that is Tsumeb-focused, or worldwide. It comes from the generations-old Weyand Collection held in the town of Tsumeb.
